The part that actually launches the VMs isn't finished yet, because I didn't 
do the API work to interface to ECC as well as S3. But if you want to launch 
your instances manually and fire up the program on launch, it should work.

You get it from me, but it'll have to wait until I have time to package it 
up properly, if you actually want it.
