It would be nice to be able to offer wireguard for debian's non-linux
platforms (kfreebsd and hurd, possibly others).  the rust and go
implementations depend on rustc and golang, which are not available in
the non-linux debian ports, but ghc is.

So if we build a userspace implementation we should be able to ship it
cross-platform.

Just noting this idea for later work.  i don't have much time to
actually make this change at the moment.
