Let me look into this today. I think we may as well solve it once and for all.
In fact, looking at how our Jenkins job is setup I'm thinking that
perhaps having
a direct Docker-enabled entry point into our build process will be better than
keep remembering an exact incantation of Docker.

So how about we implement a sysprop bigtop.build.env so that the following
will happen:
    1. with bigtop.build.env not set we get the current build process remains
        the same
    2. with bigtop.build.env set to one of the build environment values that we
        recognize the Docker magic is transparently invoked
    3. with bigtop.build.env set to anything else Gradle prints the
list of build
        environments and exists

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Roman.

P.S. If it were Maven, I'd hook it up as a profile, but I guess with
Gradle sysprops
is all we get to switch things around, right?
