Thanks for putting this together. I was trying to figure out how to do 
callback from c to go. There are fewer examples on the web for that since 
most of them deal with calling c code from go. 

C int -> go C.int
C unsigned char -> C.uchar
C char -> C.char
C unsigned int -> C.uint
C double -> C.double
C *char -> *C.char

To get a go string from *C.char I used C.GoString(symbol). 

Couple of followup questions:

- I used the int and char C.<type> directly in fmt.printf and it seemed to 
work. Is that ok to do without having to convert into a native go type?
- What about c types like 

C short -> ?
C __int64 -> ?

What file are all the go C.<types> defined in. 

Thanks to the go team for making this. It's so easy to work with the binary 
c lib that I have and I'm actually going to enjoy it...
