Very cool!

I'm a bit of a newb though - how do I install this?

    1. You need Go

    2a. Type 'make'. It will build the binary and place it in bin/
    2b. Use the go tool chain directly to build. Does the same thing as 2a.

why the makefile and src directory? Why not put the source in the root directory, so that go get github.com/jgrahamc/httpdiff would just work? The makefile doesn't even do anything useful, and just makes it so that poor windows folks can't build your code for no good reason.

Yes, you have to do the archaic `go get github.com/jgrahamc/httpdiff/src/httpdiff`. Truly a travesty. While the makefile allows you to avoid the whole GOPATH nonsense, which gets a plus from me.

Because... bad habits from larger projects.
