godocr - godoc for remote repositories

A super simple utility for viewing the godocs of a remote repository in a terminal. godocr clones a remote repository into a temporary directory, runs:

$ cd $TEMPDIR; godoc .

and then removes the temporary directory. There are a number of ways to make this better, such as smartly fetching gzipped snapshots of the latest commit from github (as a full checkout of a large project is a fairly heavyweight operation), and enabling the pretty-printed http server.

godocr will simply call godoc for packages in the standard library, but will check out a temporary copy of the latest version of a package even if you have it installed. This is potentially useful if you have an older version goinstalled, but are interested in the godocs for the latest development copy.
