Russ Cox 7b04471dfa gopack: change archive file name length back to 16 
This CL grew the archive file name length from 16 to 64:

Back then, every x.go file in a package became an x.6 file
in the archive.  It was important to be able to allow the
use of long Go source file names, hence the increase in size.

Today, all Go source files compile into a single _go_.6 file
regardless of their names, so the archive file name length
no longer needs to be long.  The longer name causes some
problems on Plan 9, where the native archive format is the
same but with 16-byte names, so revert back to 16.

README 

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
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.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed
under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

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.
