Speedup for coverage file merging
multi threaded workload framework / program
awsbuilder.py - a generalized instance creator
Finally!

This version can create on-demand or spot instances for a handful of
pre-selected amis. It will also update DNS with cname entries based on
parameters you specify.

What it needs:
    - Error checking. Way to much samaurai code
    - Ability to specify custom AMI id
    - Ability to adjust the ratio for bid price calculation on spot
      instances
    - Purpose / group name to facilitate looking up an instance in the
      database
    - Shutdown / Terminate / Cleanup functionality
    - Custom storage definitions, including provisioned IO
    - Windows password retrieval
    - Custom script execution / file transfers for setup
    - More error checking. It occurs to me that the options are not
      vetted properly and the DNS update bits may run without checking
      to see if they should run. Narf!
