Russ Cox a6736cae30 spec: allow imported packages named main
Prior to this CL, there were two requirements about the
package name main.

1. The package that sits at the root of the import graph
   (the one where program execution begins)
   must be named main.

2. No other package in the program can be named main.

This CL only removes requirement #2, which can be done
without changing any other Go documentation.

The new wording and formatting is such that removing
requirement #1 can be done by deleting a single line,
but making that change is explicitly outside the scope
of this CL, because it would require changes to other
documentation at the same time.

visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.

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 README).  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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
