Joe Beda 38d5906044 Clean up READMEs and broken stuff.
Move all support for clouds that are broken with this change into an `icebox` directory.  We'll move that stuff back out as we fix it up.

## Getting a Binary Release
You can either build a release from sources or download a pre-built release. If you don't plan on developing Kubernetes itself, we suggest a pre-built release.
### Prebuilt Binary Release
Soon, we will have a list of numbered and nightly releases. Until then, you can download a development release/snapshot from [here](http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-releases-56726/devel/kubernetes.tar.gz).
Unpack this tar file on Linux or OS X. Most guides assume you are in the `kubernetes/` directory.
### Building from source
Get the Kubernetes source. If you are simply building a release from source there is no need to set up a full golang environment as all building happens in a Docker container.
**TODO:** Change this to suggest using a numbered release once we have one with the new build scripts.
Building a release is simple.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes.git
cd kubernetes
build/release.sh
```
For more details on the release process see the [`build/` directory](../../build)
