add some initial docs on building kernel images from raw materials (that is, 

a tarball from kernel.org, and this svn repo).

Building kernels from SVN (for official images):
1) Start by downloading a kernel tarball from kernel.org (ie,
linux-2.6.12.tar.bz2).
2) Run trunk/scripts/prune-non-free <tarball>. This will produce two
additional tarballs; linux-kernel-<version>.orig.tar.gz and
linux-kernel-nonfree-<version>.orig.tar.gz. Ignore the nonfree tarball
for now.
3) Unpack linux-kernel-<version>.orig.tar.gz, cd into the new directory,
and do a 'svn export' to get the debian/ subdirectory.
