Hey Ryan,

Agreed!  I think that could be useful.  This has been discussed about
the benchmarks repository:

https://github.com/mlpack/benchmarks/pull/135

But it could definitely be useful for the main mlpack repository too.

If you worked on this, perhaps we could put the Dockerfile in some
mlpack repository, and then upload it to DockerHub and update our
documentation?  Anyway, just an idea. :)

Hope this helps!  And it was cool to run into you at the GSoC mentor
summit in Munich. :)

Ryan
