For example, with GOPATH set like so
GOPATH=/home/adg/gocode
And after creating some subdirectories
mkdir /home/adg/gocode/{bin,pkg,src}
I can use goinstall to install the github.com/nf/goto web server,
which depends on the github.com/nf/stat package, with
goinstall github.com/nf/goto
This downloads and installs all dependencies (that aren't already
installed) like so
/home/adg/gocode/bin/goto
/home/adg/gocode/pkg/darwin_amd64/github.com/nf/stat.a
/home/adg/gocode/src/github.com/nf/goto/...
/home/adg/gocode/src/github.com/nf/stat/...

This CL gives goinstall the ability to build commands,
not just packages.
"goinstall foo.googlecode.com/hg/bar" will build the command named
"bar" and install it to GOBIN. "goinstall ." will use the name of the
local directory as the command name.

As a data point, this enables goinstall to handle the standard
syscall package almost unchanged (there's one file with the _bsd
extension, and a .c file which isn't supposed to be compiled in).

It was possible to make package run arbitrary
commands when installing if its filenames contained
make metacharacters.

In line with other functions such as Fprintf, put the
thing to be written first.
Apologies for the breakages this is sure to cause.

Currently to install a command, you have to manually
goinstall each of the remote packages that it depends on.
This patch lets goinstall P work where P is
contains files in package main.
It does not actually build the package, but
it installs all of its dependencies and prints a message
to that effect.
