I feel a bit weird pushing something with 3 lines, but it seems distinct from everything else at the moment.

The makefile now has the GOCMD variable for building with different versions of Go.

I set this up so that we can test against Go 1.11. It can be installed in the following way:

$ go get golang.org/dl/go1.11.13
$ go1.11.13 download

Then, execute the makefile in the following way:

$ make GOCMD=go1.11.13
go1.11.13 build ...

This should work for any version of Go.

If you agree with this, should I add some info to the README?

Yes. This is great. Adding to the readme would be wonderful. You've been finding really cool stuff. I had no idea about being able to get other versions of go so easily. Very cool and a good addition to the makefile.
