Comment (by donatello):

 I want to embed some static assets used by my program (which is also built
 as a static binary), into the binary itself to enable easy
 distribution/deployment - simply download and execute a single (binary)
 file. It is quite common in some other languages (e.g.
 https://github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs#readme).

 Due to this issue, I am currently reading the static assets in at start,
 but I would prefer to build all the assets into the binary itself.

 The PPA does not seem to have the most recent commits, so I will for it to
 be updated before I try this out.
