[9fans] Go: CGO and Plan 9

[lucio@proxima.alt.za]

I need some help getting my mind around what should be a simple issue:
how to connect Go with Plan 9's "native" toolchain.

To be more specific, I have a port of the OpenLDAP library for Plan 9
that works quite adequately and I would like to access it from GO. I
guess this is true of any similar library ported using APE.  It seems
to me that because Go can connect to native C libraries and because in
Plan 9 the calling conventions are in fact identical, there ought to
be an easy way to do it, but I don't realy understand what's involved.

I suspect that the Go builder would have to be enhanced to deal with
this, while at the same time I wonder if the C compiler and assembler
should be used in a Go APE-like environment.  Whatever, I need help
thinking this through, can anyone assist?

PS: I'd like the answer to be portable outside of Plan 9 (in p9p, to
be exact), but that isn't essential.
