This patch creates interfaces in builder/ for building Docker images.
It is a first step in a series of patches to remove the daemon
dependency on builder and later allow a client-side Dockerfile builder
as well as potential builder plugins.
It is needed because we cannot remove the /build API endpoint, so we
need to keep the server-side Dockerfile builder, but we also want to
reuse the same Dockerfile parser and evaluator for both server-side and
client-side.
builder/dockerfile/ and api/server/builder.go contain implementations
of those interfaces as a refactoring of the current code.

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Docker project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the docker core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible.
If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the
Docker organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good
place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
