RFC: Support Go 1.3 (undefined: atomic.Value in mitchellh/go-homedir)

[lambdalisue]

I'm not really sure which to report this issue but I'm using your ghq and not go-homedir thus I decide to report the issue here.
Well, when I tried to install this program by go get github.com/motemen/ghq, the command fail with

../../../.go/src/github.com/mitchellh/go-homedir/homedir.go:18: undefined: atomic.Value

It seems that the atomic.Value feature was implemented from Go 1.4, and I'm using Go 1.3.3 which is available on Ubuntu 15.04 (ref, the use was implemented in go-homedir at this commit)
So I'll be really happy if you decide to support Go 1.3, which can be installed through apt-get.

ghq provides binaries for each platforms, also Linux, from this page. You need not to do go get by using binary.

[lambdalisue]

Hum... Good point. A disadvantage of using binaries is that you may miss updates of ghq, but that it. While I'm stick on using ghq, probably I should switch to use binaries instead of HEAD.

Thanks for giving me a direction 😄

Oh, thanks anyway to both! 🙏
