## Overview
Rather than creating a snap package from pre-build binaries, this allows
building the snap package directly from source. Makes it possible to use
external build automation such as build.snapcraft.io
## Testing recommendations
On any Ubuntu 16.04 or newer system, apt install "snapcraft" and then run
"snapcraft snap" or "make snap". The resulting .snap file can be installed with
"snap install --dangerous *.snap"
