Hello,

To learn some more Go and also about Click package internals I wrote a tool
that modulo bugs and a few corner cases replicates what the official click
build and click buildsource commands do
I only tested it very briefly and on a single package so far.

If you have Go installed and GOPATH set up, try it out:

$ go get github.com/janimo/goclick

[...]

$ goclick
Usage: goclick COMMAND [options]

Commands are as follows ('click COMMAND --help' for more):

  build                 Build a Click package.

  buildsource           Build a Click source package.

  contents              Show the file-list contents of a Click package
file.
  info                  Show manifest information for a Click package.

One use of such a tool is building Click packages by only installing a
single binary and no other deps. It depends on a call to "du" at the moment
but once that is gone it could in theory be used even on Windows.
