Julian Phillips 8ffbc4016a goinstall: Add support for generic hosts using special import form
This change extends goinstall to support "magic" package names of the
form:
        <host>/<repo>.<vcs>/<path>

Where <host> is the hostname, <repo> the path to the repository, <vcs>
the type of vcs (git, hg, bzr or svn), and <path> is the path inside the
repository that contains the source code for the package.

For example: "example.com/pub/foo.hg/src" means download the Mercurial
repository at either pub/foo.hg or pub/foo from example.com and then
build and install the source files from src inside the repository
checkout.

Repositories on the built-in hostings sites (github, bitbucket,
launchpad and googlecode) must still use the old form (i.e.
github.com/xxx/yyy.git/src will be rejected).

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.
