Good idea.

It should actually be however possible to do this already, even if it is a
little hidden. Unless I'm wrong gob just writes the output to the current
directory, so you just need to change to a directory you want to create
output in. So

cd foo && gob ../blah.gob

Will create the output files for blah.gob in a subdirectory foo. Not as
pretty as gob -o foo blah.gob I suppose, but it should work.
