Yep, that's all it does. It lets you link together ports and 
volumes, and expose ports to the host machine, but it doesn't do 
anything particularly magical. I think it only does things that 
you could have done by starting images with the right docker 
invocations.

I don't think there is a way to compose multiple docker images 
into a single image.
