Add cross-platform binaries to github releases

[geofffranks]

Would it be possible to add 64-bit binaries for darwin/linux (and any other platforms you want to support) to the github releases as artifacts? Both for past releases and future releases?

It would be really useful if we could just download the binary, and stick in our docker images, without having to install all of golang, just to go get this one utility.

Any thoughts on this? I'd be more than happy to help.

Seems good. It's mostly a matter of figuring out a travis-ci script to save binaries (and appveyor for a Windows .exe too). I guess the thing to use is "github releases".

👍 for setting some kind of automated script. We should do it for all our Go repos.

Here are a couple of examples on how to do this by cross compiling all three binaries on travis.

https://github.com/mikesimons/pacyak/blob/master/.travis.yml

These are both set to deploy a release when a commit is tagged.

Thanks for linking those references; this looks pretty straightfoward.
