Download GO Packages

Packages are downloaded into folder specified in the $GOPATH system varible:

go get -u gopkg.in/mgo.v2

The 'go get' command requires that the git is installed on Windows. $GOPATH has bin, pkg sub-directories. $GOROOT/src is where the source code for the standard library lives.
