Please lets get sucked into the dynamic/static argument at this time. 
Juju depends on producing a statically linked binary for the tools that 
run on the host. While there are alternative compilers for Go, we don't 
use them, and have designed the product with the static linking nature 
of the default Go compiler in mind.
