+# This script will build the hyperkube image and push it to the repository
+# referred to by KUBE_REGISTRY. The image will be given a version tag with
+# the value from KUBE_VERSION. It also turns up/turns down Kubernetes
+# clusters and federation components using the built hyperkube image.
+# e.g. run as:
+# KUBE_REGISTRY=localhost:5000/anushku \
+# KUBE_VERSION=1.3.0-dev ./build.sh
+#
+# will deploy the components using

+# The script that we ship to the users as part of a release should be
+# much simpler (about 80% of the code here could be removed for non-dev
