Alpine version installs 400 megabytes of dependencies #259

Suggested command apk add img --repository=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing installs gcc and go, along with some other packages, and this FS layer turns out to be more than 400 megabytes. I doubt there is need for compilers in order to install a binary.

That is because the APKBUILD requires the go package which depends on gcc.

This issue should be brought up with the Alpine Linux developers, since that is how they handle golang in their distribution.

Otherwise, I would recommend downloading the static binaries provided under releases.
