[dundee] Docker 0.7

[Owen Bowers Adams]

Bit of a premature send there.

BTRFS support is on the way, with an experimental driver already out.  Due
to the fact it's now using a second driver and thin LVM snapshots (through
libdevmapper) it's actually pretty easy to write new storage drivers you
just need to implement Create Get Remove and Cleanup.

Also. For the small number who are interested in it there's 32 bit support
on the way. Not quite there yet but it'll be in the next version or two.
