D Compiler as Docker Image

Want to share the outcome of a vivid discussion today at the 
Munich D Meetup with you.

Installation of a D Compiler is ok-ish. But sometime you don't 
want to install it. Sometimes you want a very clean 
compiler-environment. Sometimes you want to compile your projects 
in the cloud and not on your local PC.

To ease this a bit I drafted Docker Images for the Compilers 
(dmd, ldc, gdc, sdc) [1]. Based on this you have a clean 
compilation environment. And you even could use dub with it. No 
installation anymore.

Want to know how to use it? [2], [3]

The usage examples are in the repo are currently:
  - return code - simplest D program for compilation with dmd, 
ldc, gdc, sdc
  - hello world - simplest D program using phobos
  - all_dmd_versions - simplest D program compiled with all 
available DMD versions
  - dub - simplest dub project
  - building dub - building dub with dub as a complex real world 
use case

Really would appreciate your feedback!
