Implementing $GOBY_ROOT about goby HOT 6 CLOSED

@adlerhsieh So where should we put current lib in the first place?

from goby.

I think we don't need to move lib directory for now.

After several tries I found it's more complicated than I thought to actually "find" and "copy" lib directory in goby executable. It will be even more complicated if we're supporting different ways to installation and platforms in the future.

However, I come up with another simpler solution. When doing brew install goby, it will pop up an error message if $GOBY_ROOT is not set. If it is set, lib directory will be copied during installation. This ensures the variable is set when users run goby.

Based on this approach, the formula would look like this. And an example screenshot would look like this:

We can discuss if this is a good idea.

@adlerhsieh I think this is simple but enough to achieve our goal. Just one concern: should GOBY_ROOT be $HOME/goby? I think it should be something like /usr/loca/goby/.

Yeap, just a matter of style. /usr/local/goby works as well. I'll just change that.
