Daniel Johansson 12663b4627 registry: Explain how GetMUIStringValue works and where it falls short
GetMUIStringValue tries as a convenience to resolve string values even for pathless
resource DLLs by searching the system directory (one of several paths used
by the system's standard DLL search order algorithm). This would not be
needed if regLoadMUIString searched for pathless DLLs itself, but it
doesn't, instead it needs an absolute path, otherwise it will fail.

This approach works fine for solving issue #12015 (handle localized time
zone names; for which GetMUIStringValue was created) since tzres.dll that
is used to resolve localized time zone names has no path in the registry
but is located under the system directory.

However, this approach will fail if a pathless DLL is located somewhere
else than the system directory.

Because of this limitation GetMUIStringValue may have to be revised in the
future to allow for custom paths, possibly through another version of the
function.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
