>From Miek Gieben:

With new Go versions Ragel breaks, as the
newest weekly release(s) restricts the use of 'goto'. 

See this message from Andrew Gerrand:
http://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts/browse_thread/thread/a27ca841a496956b/6768a0f0326a6569?lnk=gst&q=goto#6768a0f0326a6569

This will soon show up in a 'stable' release thereby breaking
Ragel's ability to generate Go code.

The central issue is how to get the state machine to do transitions
without use of goto into blocks. The only thing that I can come up with
is an additional state variable handled switch by the switch, which
doesn't seem very efficient.
