Thank you for the help, that worked.  I don't want to use cgo directly 
because of the compile overhead and because cgo prevents debugging on 
Windows.

Another question, if there is a C function with the declaration: void 
returnOutCString(char ** out)
I can call the function using:
var retPtr unsafe.Pointer
proc.Call(uintptr(retPtr))

But how do I convert retPtr to a Go String?
