Minimal build environment for AOSP with handy automation wrapper scripts.
Developers can use the Docker image to build directly while running the
distribution of choice, without having to worry about breaking the AOSP build
due to package updates as is sometimes common on rolling distributions like
Arch Linux.

AOSP build due to package updates as is sometimes common on bleeding edge
rolling distributions like Arch Linux.
Production build servers and integration test servers should also use the same
Docker image and environment. This eliminate most surprises in breakages by
Docker image and environment. This eliminates most surprise breakages by
by empowering developers and production builds to use the exact same
environment. The hope is that breakages will be caught earlier by the devs.
environment. The devs will catch the issues with build environment first.
This only works (well) on Linux. Running this via `boot2docker` will result in
a very painful performacne hit due to VirtualBox's `vboxsf` shared folder
service which works terrible for **very** large builds like AOSP. It might
work, but consider youself warned. If you're aware of another way to get
around this, send a pull request!
For *Mac OS X* and *Windows* users, consider

virtual machine to enable development.
