Binary package hint: euca2ools

As I understand it, one of the goals in Ubuntu is for euca2ools to be a drop in replacement for Amazon's EC2 AMI (and API) command line tools.

The following are differences where I noticed that I had to set additional environment variables for euca2ools to function properly.

- euca-upload-bundle requires setting S3_URL instead of just defaulting to https://s3.amazonaws.com as ec2-upload-bundle does.

- euca-register requires setting $EC2_URL instead of defaulting to https://ec2.amazonaws.com as ec2-register does.

- euca-register requires setting $EC2_ACCESS_KEY and $EC2_SECRET_KEY instead of also checking $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID as ec2-register does.
