There's still a lot more work to be done before we can send it up
stream, at the moment it's just to provide a central starting point
for testing locally before bundling it all together to enable in
mainline.

There's also conversations to be had as to had as to whether we move
all archtectures to gcc-go or wait for golang 1.5 in (probably) F-23
and just use that. It's too late for F-22 cycle anyway IMO.
