Go first install steps

macOS install fix

1. gvm install go1.8 -B
2. gvm use go1.8 --default
3. export GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$GOROOT
4. gvm install go1.13 (whatever version after 1.8 you want to install, in my case i want to use 1.13)

? May disregard above Alt fix may have been problem specifically with gvm 1.15.6 ... no built in stdlib packages found... but 1.15 and previous versions work...

GG deprecation and incompatibility of minor versions Seemed to "just work" on Windows straight install without worrying about gvm.

e.g.

$GOPATH/bin/goxc \
  -bc="darwin,amd64" \
  -pv=0.0.1 \
  -d=build \
  -build-ldflags "-X main.VERSION=0.0.1"

Set up makefile

make build
make install

Should probably build build artefacts using gh-actions rather than in source repo for release
