     8  This is a compiler frontend for the Go programming language
     9  (http://golang.org/).  The frontend was originally developed at
    10  Google, and was released in November 2009.  It was originally written
    11  by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org>.
    12  
    13  It was originally written for GCC (http://gcc.gnu.org/).  As of this
    14  writing it only supports GCC, but the GCC support has been separated
    15  from the rest of the frontend, so supporting another compiler is
    16  feasible.
    17  
    18  The go subdirectory holds the frontend source code.  This is mirrored
    19  to the gcc/go subdirectory in the GCC repository.
    20  
    21  The libgo subdirectory holds the library source code.  This is a copy
    22  of the main Go library with various changes appropriate for this
    23  compiler.  The main Go library is hosted at
    24  http://go.googlesource.com/go, in the src directory.  The libgo
    25  subdirectory is mirrored to the libgo subdirectory in the gcc
    26  repository.
