The installer now: allows a user to select an alternative
install directory, it now adds a Go folder to the Programs
Menu, and it places two shortcuts on the user's desktop.
The Program Menu folder contains shortcuts to the uninstaller
and two batch files, go.bat and godoc.bat. The desktop
shortcuts also point to go.bat and godoc.bat.
go.bat sets the Go environment, including Path, and spawns a
Window's shell. godoc.bat starts the godoc server at
localhost:6060 then spawns a browser window pointing to the
document server.
Setting the environment temporarily and spawning a shell, via
go.bat, should be safer than messing with the system's environment
and it makes the user experience a bit more streamlined.
The packager does work in its current state but it still needs
some polishing. And yes, the plan is to add a dialogue to allow
the user to decline the desktop shortcuts.

I've been using this since April and posted it on the
mailing list, but it seems worth having in the repository.
Not sure about the location.

Fixes crash when cgo consumes more than 8K
of stack and makes a callback.
Fixes#1328.

If a frame has multiple windows then the windows must all be restored
after gofmt has finished and the old windows must be restored.
Before this fix, only the Go code edit window would be left.

There may be more fine-tuning down the line,
but this CL fixes the most pressing issue at
hand.
Also: gofmt -w src misc
Fixes#1524.

Also standardize on 'utf8' as encoding name.
Apparently either is acceptable.
The user, because it is a StringProperty,
must be of type unicode in order to handle
Unicode correctly. It must *not* have type string.
The desc, because it is a BlobProperty, must
be of type string in order to handle Unicode correctly.
It must *not* have type unicode.
Yay encoding type pedantry without static typing.

It's a balance between fetching too much
and falling far enough behind that you can't
catch up. We missed 20 commits in a row
when the builders were down for a few days.
This gives us a little more leeway.

Allocate Defer on stack during cgo calls, as suggested
by dvyukov. Also includes some comment corrections.

It's already in old/template; make that build.
Update a couple of references to point to the old template.
They can be updated later.
Update goplay to use exp/template.

This is just moving the URL code from package http into its own package,
which has been planned for a while.
Besides clarity, this also breaks a nascent dependency cycle the new template
package was about to introduce.
Add a gofix module, url, and use it to generate changes outside http and url.
Sadness about the churn, gladness about some of the naming improvements.

When the C API being used includes multiple names for the same
underlying symbol (e.g. multiple #define's for the same variable), then
cgo will generate the same placeholder variables for each name. This
then prevents the code from compiling due to multiple declarations of
the same variable - so change cgo to only create one instance of the
variable for the underlying symbol.
