I don't understand what's needed to make the go proxy stuff pick things  up, but it would be nice if this could use the tags rather than a  date+hash version.    

This is not possible with current implementation of the modgo-gen-modules make target.

as it offloads the version handling to Golang which uses module versioning which is

different from tags used in VCS.

@@ -0,0 +1 @@  +This Go program uses goroutines to calculate multiple hashes on strings, files and directories.  By default it reads from standard input.  It can be used as a drop-in replacement for the GNU **coreutils** when hard-linked as **md5sum**, etc. and it actually supports the `--zero` option with `--check`.  The output format is fully configurable.  

  DESCR should be wrapped at <80 columns and plaintext not markdown.    Might be nice to outline which actual hashes are supported - doesn't  need to be in full detail, but something like "Supports a range of SHA  and BLAKE algorithms and can use HMACs" would give a better idea of what  it can do.  

Will take the time to fix this and include the latest version with some fixes.

Thanks,

Ricardo.
