Gopack is a variant of the Plan 9 ar tool. The original is documented at
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/ar
It adds a special Go-specific section __.PKGDEF that collects all the
Go type information from the files in the archive; that section is
used by the compiler when importing the package during compilation.
Usage: gopack [uvnbailo][mrxtdpq] archive files ...
The new option 'g' causes gopack to maintain the __.PKGDEF section
as files are added to the archive.
