- the newest version of Go is at http://golang.org/dl/
- try to check the following download locations in order
1. http://golang.org/dl
2. http://go.googlecode.com/files
Otherwise, bail out with an error message.
- looks like the http://go.googlecode.com/ doesn't respect HEAD requests. This alternative approach is less rigorous than the prior approach, but it seems to work. - removed the 'warn' and 'die' helper functions because they weren't used in this 2nd pass approach.
- Between go versions 1.2 through 1.4.3, osx packages were subdivided
into two versions, one for OSX 10.6 and another for OSX 10.8
- this helps when debugging far into the future when I've forgotten
many of the downloading details.

Supports installing Go 1.3, and correctly downloads older versions of Go (1.2.2 and older). Possibly future versions of Go can be downloaded correctly too.
