Damn, I think that's the issue, some packages don't use a domain name
as the first element of the import path.

Okay, got it. There are no circular dependencies here, it's really a
straightforward situation "A needs B", so fixing the package names
should solve the issue.
On a side note, it would be nice to have documentation somewhere on
how to use the go class, especially for GO_IMPORT and GO_INSTALL.
Does that belong in the class file itself? Or should that be put in the doc
repository?
Thank your very much for your help!
