Installation fails due to code.google.com shutdown

package code.google.com/p/gcfg: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path

This occurs during installation of GoPostStuff because Google Code shutdown on the 26th of January.

Are there any plans to move this project away from google code?

Was able to get past this by downloading the source from the code.google.com archives, copying it to my local workspace and invoking
go install code.google.com/p/gcfg

Unfortunately now installation of GoPostStuff blows up with:

# github.com/madcowfred/GoPostStuff
src\github.com\madcowfred\GoPostStuff\mmapcache.go:62: undefined: syscall.Mmap
src\github.com\madcowfred\GoPostStuff\mmapcache.go:62: undefined: syscall.PROT_READ

I have no experience with go install and go get, so I forked the project and changed code.google.com/p/gcfg to gopkg.in/gcfg.v1, which is where that package is migrated to according to https://code.google.com/archive/p/gcfg/. This allows me to follow the go get instructions given in the readme.

I used GoPostStuff for a very long time, then I discovered nyuu https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu which is the best and far exceeds every other usenet poster.

I also resorted to Nyuu at the time. I believe I did get GoPostStuff working and even modified it a bit but Nyuu worked and was maintained.
