RFC: Amazon Web Services client libraries

[Elijah Wright]

The bundle of bits from amazon (which are java based) is pretty critical to
have easily available and under maintenance / update policy.

[Anyone tried running them with openjdk, incidentally?  I know they work
perfectly with the Sun JDK bits, but would love to hear reports of them
working well with an all-free-and-no-sun-involved stack.]

The ruby gems would also be pretty crucial, as they enable folks to
programmatically interact with spinups and implement quite a lot of
tweaky/touchy functionality.  [Folks using puppet or chef to manage cloud
instances are quite likely to install them, whether they're packaged
"officially" or not.]

I think there are some python bits (boto?) which I've also heard are in
fairly wide use.
