Implement strategy for binary server releases #32

It would be very nice if a user of this project could download just the windows binaries for the go Server part of the project without having to install go themselves, and compile a project in an unfamiliar language with only one line of instruction on how to compile it.

This would greatly speed up the ability to use this project in an end user, developer, and CI scenarios.

@gnarf Thanks for the request; we'll consider it for a future update!

Note that there is currently only one line relating to compilation in the README because that's often all it takes to compile a Go project. If you're experiencing any problems with compilation, we'll be happy to help.

It was relatively easy to get it going, but it can be scary jumping into a language you've never installed :)

The only bump I had as a complete go newbie was trying to figure out where go.exe was to add it to the PATH for my shells, so the instructions do work out quite well
