Making Amazon AWS API Queries
Very simple wrapper for signed and authenticated Amazon API queries.
Works with most Amazon AWS APIs and various other services.
The APIs themselves are described in the Amazon docs and are not part
of the code in this module.
More information about the API for various AWS services can be found
in the documentation at http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/
The code is under a BSD license, detailed in the LICENSE file.
