Russ Cox b03a5f66e8 cmd/go: fixes
* Install tools into tool dir always
  (Fixes issue 3049.  Fixes issue 2868.  Fixes issue 2925.)
* Make packages depend on compiler, linker (Fixes issue 3036.)
* Do not recompile packages across roots (Fixes issue 3149.)
* Allow use of binary-only packages (Fixes issue 2775.)
* Avoid duplicate cgo dependencies (Fixes issue 3001.)
* Show less in go get -x.  (Fixes issue 2926.)
* Do not force repo root for existing checkout (Fixes issue 2969.)
* Show full syntax error list always (Fixes issue 2811.)
* Clean arguments before processing (Fixes issue 3034.)
* Add flags for compiler, linker arguments (Fixes issue 2996.)
* Pass flags in make.bash (Fixes issue 3091.)
* Unify build flags, defined in one place.
* Clean up error messages (Fixes issue 3075.  Fixes issue 2923.)
* Support local import paths (Fixes issue 3118.)
* Allow top-level package outside $GOPATH (Fixes issue 3009.)

In addition to these fixes, all commands now take a list of
go files as a way to specify a single package, just as go build and
go run always have.  This means you can:

        go list -json x.go
        go fix x.go
        go vet x.go
        go test x_test.go

Preliminary tests in test.bash.
Mainly testing things that the ordinary build does not.
I don't mind if the script doesn't run on Windows.

I expect that gccgo support is now broken, and I hope that
people will feel free to file issues and/or send CLs to fix it.  :-)

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.
