REOPENED -- still need to work out compiling from Raspberry Pi (ARM) platform.

@hackerjimbo , Here is the current Docker image being used to build the native libraries. https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j-docker/tree/master/pi4j-builder-native It's the same image for both `x86_64` and `aarch64`. We can add the `aarch64`compiled...

@hackerjimbo Is there a way to extract it all into a .TAR.GZ and we host it somewhere in GitHub for download? The reason I ask is that we currently support...

@hackerjimbo The **raspi-toolchain** project publishes releases that are about ~500mb: https://github.com/Pro/raspi-toolchain/releases Is something like that possible? Or is there more needed? We could move to a Docker only build system...
