Do we need to allow a custom extract directory? The problem I see is
that with this change, the stamp files are no longer with the package
source code, which is a bit annoying.

Geoff and Christian instead create symlink to ensure that the Go
package source code appears at the right place in the "Go workspace". I
think it's a better approach (at least that's my feeling at the moment,
we'll see down the road if it causes problems or not).

Thanks,

Thomas
