This will install xenlight.go in /usr/bin.  What happened to the
GOLANG_SRC variable I had in the sample series I sent you?

Ah, right -- I think I see what Dario was getting at.

At the moment this won't compile, because you haven't declared
createError() anywhere.  You should try to make an effort to make each
commit in the series actually compile and have no regressions.

Since you're already including fmt, I think here I'd say:

    err = fmt.Errorf("Allocating libxl context: %d", ret)

This will compile and behave sensibly before it's replaced with the
error message.

Everything else looks good for now.  (The makefile will go through a lot
of updates once we integrate it into configure.)
