Let's say my package lives at  code.google.com/p/my-go-project/x. What's 
the best way to import this package from within a test package x_test 
living in the same directory? The following works (assuming you install the 
package at this path):

package x_test

import "code.google.com/p/my-go-project/x"

Is there, and should there be, some other way?
