Go Quake tools

I'm tempted to port/write some of my Quake 1 tools into Go sometime soon.
List of tools I'm planning on updating:

tga2lmp
lmp2tga
tga2pal
pal2tga
tga2spr
spr2tga
pcx2mdl
mdl2pcx

The last three ones I hadn't actually released yet due to me being busy with all sorts of other things. License changes are coming as well. It'll probably be in the BSD family of licenses.

I haven't written much Go, but like I said, I am tempted to give it a shot by porting some of the utilities. Will it be worth it? It'll be a learning excersise for me, so yes.
The .c versions will not die or anything. Maybe I'll realize that Go isn't the best tool for the job and just not follow through. We'll see.

The next few weeks will be a busy time finalizing things in The Wastes.
Hope to keep things updated here.
