go get golang package and run a script automatically

when we publish python package, we use pip, which will trigger setup.py to build some necessary packages.

I'm publishing a golang package, I wish when my user gets my package, it will auto trigger a makefile (some scripts to prepare environment) before installation. Is it possible?

That would allow you to execute arbitrary commands on my machine while I do some innocent looking go get github.com/yiw/totallyharmless because I want to use that package.

Is it possible?

I hope not. This happened in the past (through clever cgo stuff) and was fixed as this is a major security issue.
