Yes, essentially it would set up the cross file.  However, to some
extent whether or not Meson is used would be of relative importance.

Step 1 would probably be to find a place for the common docker
infrastructure, moving the common parts of tests/docker and tests/tcg to
scripts/docker and de-Make-izing them.
