Open Stack

Hi Kevin,

We use euca2ools for Nova and Swift with Keystone in Diablo.But
there are some problem.

- Swift S3 API lacks additional keystone middleware and API capability
  like ec2_token for Nova and Keystone.
- Nova lacks auth driver to generate credentials with Keystone.
 (nova-manage project zipfile failed.)
- ec2_token had a bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/keystone/+bug/869778

So we have to make s3token middleware for Swift, keystone auth driver
for Nova and some patches to fix bugs.

I hope Essex can be used with euca2ools.
