Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Build instructions for Ubuntu 18.04 (and other systems)

Hi!

This is certainly a good idea to have Docker build instructions as an
option, but would not be good as the only or primary option. There are
lots of situations where installing the whole docket setup on a host is
either hard or an overkill for just building PHP. But as an option it's
good.

I think having good docker-based build instructions would certainly be
appreciated.

Sounds like a nice idea.
