Cannot specify build flags to detect correct file for `rice embed-go`

[mark-rushakoff]

I have two files:

js_asset_prod.go:

// +build production

package server

import (
    "github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice"
)

var javascriptAssetRiceBox = rice.MustFindBox("./js/prod").HTTPBox() // <--- prod path

and js_asset_dev.go:

// +build !production

package server

import (
    "github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice"
)

var javascriptAssetRiceBox = rice.MustFindBox("./js/dev").HTTPBox() // <-- dev path

And when I run rice -v -i ./server/ embed-go I get output like:

2015/05/06 23:50:17 skipping file "~/server/js-dev.rice-box.go"

2015/05/06 23:50:17     includes dir: ''
2015/05/06 23:50:17

It appears that rice does not recognize js_asset_prod.go because it has an opt-in build flag, and in go.rice/flags.go, it uses build.ImportDir which does not support adding build flags (and the rice CLI does not support adding build flags either).

There could be a new flag in the rice tool, --build-tag, that can be specified multiple times for multiple tags, and use ImportDir as a method from build.Context which we create with the provided --build-tag values. Would you be willing to create this solution and PR?
