They are broken and hard to make work. They have never worked: if you import "/tmp/x" from "/home/rsc/p.c" then the compiler rewrites this into import "/home/rsc/tmp/x", which is clearly wrong. Also we just disallowed the : character in import paths, so import "c:/foo" is already not allowed. Finally, in order to support absolute paths well in a build tool we'd have to provide a mechanism to instruct the compiler to resolve absolute imports by looking in some other tree (where the binaries live) and provide a mapping from absolute path to location in that tree. This CL avoids adding that complexity. This is not part of the language spec (and should not be), so no spec change is needed. If we need to make them work later, we can.

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.
