[m-users.] Installing MMC over MMC

[fabrice nicol]

Hi Volker,

Yes it works, this is the algo used by the everyday Docker build 
released on Github.

It contains two builds: one fresh ROTD as a bootrap and a repo version 
built at HEAD with the bootstrap ROTD build.

(note: there are Ubuntu and Alpine releases too, but these have had 
distribution-related issues for a few days. Nothing related with Mercury 
source code).
