This directory builds tools used by people working in the Go language.
The source code for these tools lives in libgo/go/cmd, where it is
copied from the master gofrontend repository.  This directory contains
only the configure/Makefile instructions required to build the tools.

This directory builds two programs for general use: go and gofmt.  It
also builds one program for internal use by the go tool: cgo.  For
more information on these tools see the doc.go files in the relevant
source code, which can also be seen hosted at golang.org:
