@creack my `hack` maintainer hat agrees with you 100% - fast compilation and testing is awesome :)

The issue is with my package maintainer hat that doesn't like any of the other solutions (`go install`, etc. all) because they need write access to the `GOROOT` and are thus much more invasive from a packaging standpoint (although I'm reasonably satisfied with the workaround I put in Gentoo of copying the `GOROOT` and recompiling/using my copy that gets thrown away afterwards).
