+Docker
+======
+
+An attempt to Dockerize the Cryptech build environment.
+
+The ten zillion Debian packages are tedious but straightforward.
+
+The tricky bit is the XiLinx toolchain:
+
+* You have to download the installation tarball by hand
+* You have to get a license key from XiLinx before you can use it
+* You have to run GUI installation tools to install and configure it
+
+There's not much we can do about the first two, so we assume that
+you've obtained a tarball and a license key file, and that you've
+dropped them into this directory with the filenames we expect.
+
+The third...is fun, in a demented sort of way. Don't know whether
+it'll work yet, but going to try automating this using
+Xvfb, xautomation, and ratpoison.
