euca2ools improvements and discussion
Euca2ools are the preferred command line clients for UEC.
There are some improvements that could be made to these, those include, but are not limited to:
* config file based configuration (as opposed to .eucarc/
* --region support for euca2ools (I [smoser] believe that euca2ools do not support '--region' but rather only re-setting EC2_URL. i could be wrong).
The aim is to simplify the setup as mentioned in https:/

Whiteboard
ttx review (20091130) -- work items list missing the "add command line completion to euca2ools" item. I think bug 479836 should also be considered, given the user story.
mdz review 2009-11-30: edited for clarity. Command line completion needs to be further broken down; this is surely more than one work item
jib review 2009-12-2: Wiki spec mentions tab completion, but the work items do not. I see mileage in the tab completion. Can we please bring the 2 in sync?
smoser response 2009-12-02: added bug 479836 to work items and spec (i agree). put command line completion into 2 tasks (simple and extended).
