Integration tests with external services #10

As nice as 'go test' is, we need integration testing as well. E.g.: Build, set up influx, do some tests, verify data in influx, pull things down.

I've seen some examples, but I feel like the "go"-based examples I've seen are bit too introvert. It doesn't make sense to me to use go to run 'docker run --name influx -d influxdb; sleep 5; run-tests; docker kill....'.... but there must be some better examples/practices out there.
