Changes:
- allows explicit crossbuild targets (eg: `make mgmt-darwin-amd64`)
- adds darwin/amd64 to default crossbuild targets
- gitignore only build artifacts (eg: not all files starting with `mgmt-`)
- `build` and `crossbuild` target now utilize the same build function (`build` still generates only a `mgmt` binary for the current os/arch)
- test crossbuilding
- allow specifying custom GOOSARCHES envvar to override defaults
- crossbuild artifacts go into `build/` now
- add `build-debug` which includes symbol tables and debug info
- the build function now has `-s -w` linker arguments which discards some debug info afaict, to build a debug release use `make build-debug`
On my mac crossbuilding won't work unless I disable augeas and libvirt:

Status:
Mgmt is a next generation automation tool. It has similarities to other tools in the configuration management space, but has a fast, modern, distributed systems approach. The project contains an engine and a language. Please have a look at an introductory video or blog post.
Mgmt is a fairly new project. It is usable today, but not yet feature complete. With your help you'll be able to influence our design and get us to 1.0 sooner! Interested developers should read the quick start guide.
