I have added some go bindings for libselinux, which are used in the docker
port.  Currently I am shipping these in libselinux-devel.

# rpm -q libselinux-devel
libselinux-devel-2.2.2-2.fc21.x86_64

# rpm -ql libselinux-devel | grep go
/usr/share/gocode/src/selinux
/usr/share/gocode/src/selinux/selinux.go

Is the correct way for C libraries that we ship to provide go bindings?
