      Currently, Go driver users are advised to clone and compile libmongocrypt using the included compile.sh script here:
      https://godoc.org/go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo#hdr-Client_Side_Encryption

      This means users need to compile and install libbson (and cannot rely on system libbson), are relying on the master branch to be stable, and that compile.sh is no longer internal.

      Let's reconsider our strategy for having users of the Go driver (and perhaps other drivers) obtain libmongocrypt. Perhaps directing users get libmongocrypt through packages (e.g. MONGOCRYPT-79) and creating a Homebrew package is the best approach.
