Hello, I would like to use your code in IPFS project but I am not sure if current copyright allows me for that.

It would be best if the piece of software was published either under BSD or MIT license.

Platform / arch for Windows hosts

You can get the information and remove the hardcoded "unknown" in this way:

arch := os.Getenv("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE")
gio := &GoInfoObject{Kernel:"windows",Core:ver,Platform:arch,OS:"windows",GoOS:runtime.GOOS,CPUs:runtime.NumCPU()}

Remove panic, return an error the Go way

Why is this library causing panic? It should be returning an error instead of being so destructive:

goInfo/goInfo_windows.go

Line 20 in b5f882e

panic(err)
