GoMySQL doesn't play nice with goinstall

[dadkins]

Everytime I update my Go installation, I am unable to build my programs which rely on GoMySQL, e.g.

$ make 6g -o go.6 warden.go scrape.go warden.go:22: can't find import: mysql make: *\ [go.6] Error 1

I think this problem occurs because GoMySQL installs it's target to $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS-$GOARCH/mysql.a. The base library directory gets wiped out when running $GOROOT/src/all.bash.

I think the solution to this problem is to change the Makefile so that

TARG=githib.com/Philio/GoMySQL

and change any imports to

import "github.com/Philio/GoMySQL"

It's less visually pleasing than import "mysql", but it keeps my build from breaking every time I update the Go compiler, not to mention preventing name clashes with anyone else who might call their package "mysql".

I'll look into this, it always used to work fine both ways but this using the "old" style makefile.
