Dockerfile for building RDKit

These images are created by doing a full RDKit build within the container. As such they contain a lot of packages and are large in size and are NOT suitable for production hosting of services. Only use them if you need to have the entire RDKit build infrastructure in place.

For production hosting you should instead use our second generation images that are hosted in this GitHub repo. The thinking behind this is described in our blog.
