Description

go (http://golang.org) is close to releasing a new release of go (1.0) which requires updates to the client, in the meantime most of the go community has moved to this version.

This change contains:

• language changes to existing client (os.Error, time. Signals, etc)
• removes the Makefile's (no longer used by go)
• It also runs "go fmt" (formats it in standard go) which are most of the lines changes, from spaces to tabs.
• updates the import path to allow for "go get" installs (don't need to get source and build)

Not sure which versions this should apply to, but i think it should go to 0.7 and newer.
