This (fork of) go-bindata unfortunately is not awesome anymore.

The project is not maintained anymore and has a great bunch of issues.
Currently there are 50 unresolved issue tickets and 18 unmerged pull
requests. Many of the issues make this tool very annoying to use, but
would be easy to fix if it was maintained.

An example issue that is very easy to fix is jteeuwen/go-bindata/issues/148
which brought me here to make this PR.

See also jteeuwen/go-bindata/issues/165
Apparently the maintainer has disappeared from earth's surface two years
ago. Let's hope that's not actually true!

For software archeologists and people passing by from Google search or reddit: The original user account has been discontinued for unknown reason and someone recreated a new account under the old name and back-forked a fork of the old repository. I.e. the links to issues above became stale or may point to unrelated issues in the future.
