Generating Byte Arrays for Assets in Go using xxd

Go's net/http server is pretty fast, but sometimes you want to get faster. One way to do that is to create a binary array in memory for static files (assets). Here''s how I generate the byte arrays automatically with xxd.

Note that this makes the build go slower as you have more and bigger assets.If this is a problem, take a look at nrsc ;)

Since the go toolchain does not support custom steps currently, I''m using make.
