Cool. Thanks for mentioning that. I'll send him a note.

I'll try to dig into the autotools docs and figure out how to add a
configure test. It's really just running "go version" and checking that the
"go" executalbe exists and the output of "go version" is 1.5.1 or later.
I added a human readable note to the SystemRequirements in the
DESCRIPTION. It's "apt-get install golang" on ubuntu, and "yum install
golang" on fedora. Should the SystemRequirements field be in some kind of
machine parseable/CRAN build-testable syntax?
Best,
Jason
