gopass: The Windows 32-bit and 64-bit binary don't seem to work out of the box

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download the 64-bit, located here.
  2. Extract it to some directory.
  3. Add that directory to the PATH variable with the instructions located here.
  4. Open a new command window via Start --> Run --> cmd
  5. Do a go init command.

C:\Users\Zamiell>gopass

Error: password-store is not initialized. Try 'gopass init'

C:\Users\Zamiell>gopass init

Error: exec: "": executable file not found in %PATH%

C:\Users\Zamiell>

These steps were performed on a Windows 10 OS. I also tried using the 32-bit binary, and I received the same error. Any tips?

As an aside, if a user stumbles upon this repository and they start reading the README.md file, it isn’t clear if gopass is simply a rewrite of pass in golang, or if it also adds new features.

Can you add a bulleted list to the README.md file that lists the additional features that gopass provides over pass? It might be best to put it directly below the quote from passwordstore.org.
