Nice work Matthew!

Any chance this could be combined with lethalman's work on turning
derivations into docker containers? There seems to be a fair amount of
overlap and having a generic mechanism to create a runable closure means
we could relatively easily support the containerization mechanism and/or
application distribution format of the day.
