A template shell script for building golang binaries for distribution.

There are a number of nonobvious steps involved when building release archives for a golang binary. This template build script is intended to be copied into your own repository as a base.

- Build for mulitple platforms
- Archive in platform native format
- Always rebuild dependencies
- Strip sensitive symbol information (`ldflags '-s -w'`)
- Strip sensitive path information (remove baked `$GOPATH`)
- Strip sensitive user information (`tar --owner=0 --group=0`)
- ISC license
- "Works on my machine" (go 1.7 win64 with cygwin)
