Sorry, I think I was too quick to respond there. To the degree possible, it makes sense to me that one would try to
dependon DSO packages provided by OS packaging systems. For non-Linux systems, that might mean requiring a third-party
packagingsystem like Homebrew (macOS) or Chocolatey (Windows). 

The trick will be how to add such dependencies to a Docker container at runtime.

Best,

David
