I guess the reference to GOROOT can be removed now, is there a reason its 
still in the install docs? as Dave say's in a galaxy a long time ago

"Installing to a custom location 

The Go binary distributions assume they will be installed in /usr/local/go 
(or c:\Go under Windows), but it is possible to install the Go tools to a 
different location. In this case you must set the GOROOT environment 
variable to point to the directory in which it was installed. 

For example, if you installed Go to your home directory you should add the 
following commands to $HOME/.profile: 

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

*Note*: GOROOT must be set only when installing to a custom location."


it also refers to GOPATH in https://golang.org/doc/install#testing which 
again could be removed now?


I've just installed 1.7.5 from a new machine without settings these (and a 
customer location) on windows at it works.
