so here is something else to vet out, like the work done for the ruby
RPMS. Since there is support API versioning for the go language, how
best to accommodate that in the requires/provides? Currently the
language spec is 'go1', so everything in the 1.x version _will_ comply
to this spec. Eventually they'll have a go2, etc.

Should the 'golang' package have a:
	Provides: golang(release) = 'go1'
	
The binaries would have a BuildRequires and libraries would Require, to
match the API version?

Take care,
