Right. But in order to build a go project, you need the go compiler. And the go compiler comes with "go get". So my question was more: if a user has installed go (properly) should not "go get" be the sane, easy, one way to install a project? And isn't "fixing" "go get" better than adding a dependency on make? (and I guess this project in a sense is a way to fix "go get", but it seems thrasher fragile; any one project might end up with a broken makefile by accident)..
