// Hercules plugin "{{.name}}"
//
// How to build: execute "make" *OR*
//
// 1. Update the Protocol Buffers definition as needed, regenerate {{.protogo}}
//
//     PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin protoc --gogo_out={{.outdir}} --proto_path={{.outdir}} {{.proto}}
//
// 2. Build {{.shlib}}
//
//     go build -buildmode=plugin -linkshared {{.output}} {{.protogo}}
//
// Step (1) requires GoGo Protobuf https://github.com/gogo/protobuf
//
// Usage:
//
//    hercules --plugin {{.shlib}} --{{.flag}}
//    hercules --plugin {{.shlib}} -help
