James Whitehead 5cb4f82bbc misc/vim: clarifies syntax highlighting installation instructions 
Based on the review of CL 1723044, I've changed the installation instructions
for the vim syntax files to suggest symlinking the files rather than copying
the files. Also the wording has changed to be more consistent.

Vim syntax highlighting for Go (http://golang.org)
==================================================

To install automatic syntax highlighting for GO programs:

  1. Copy or link the filetype detection script to the ftdetect directory
     underneath your vim runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/ftdetect)
  2. Copy or link syntax/go.vim to the syntax directory underneath your vim
     runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/syntax). Linking this file rather
     than just copying it will ensure any changes are automatically reflected
     in your syntax highlighting.
  3. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (normally $HOME/.vimrc):

     syntax on

In a typical unix environment you might accomplish this using the following
commands:

  mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/ftdetect
  mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/syntax
  ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/ftdetect/gofiletype.vim $HOME/.vim/ftdetect/
  ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/syntax/go.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax
  echo "syntax on" >> $HOME/.vimrc
