go-appimage currently consists of two tools, one to produce AppImages and one to consume AppImages.

They share a lot of code and are intended to work well together, and be developed in sync with each other in the same repository.

It will be the only AppImage creation tool that I have bandwidth to support. All others will be community-based and supported by their respective authors.

The current name (appimagetool) is not fitting.
