I believe the "right" way to handle this is to package files into a
docker volume, then mount that volume as part of the container setup,
then extract the completed files from the volume at the end of the
build process.

I've also not seen any good examples of this. As far as I can tell,
what we're doing is a "wrong" way to use docker, but nobody has really
had constructive ideas either.

Sigh.
