Ability to build a single .go file

[sathishvj]

It would be a nice to give a single target go file and have it built for multiple platforms.

E.g. gox hello.go
Output: an executable in all conceivable platforms.

You can do this currently just my creating a directory containing a single go file. Or, if hello.go is the only go file in directory, just calling gox will working.

The reason it doesn't make sense to point to a single source file is that go build working with packages, and packages can contain multiple source files.

Yup, that was fixed in issue #4 . This was then raised as a separate issue since go build can be run on an individual file, and I think it would be useful in places.

Well I'm totally wrong. I didn't think go build worked on single files. I
now agree this is something that should work
