different files are required to successfully use Amazon's EC2 Web
Services. For the sake of simplicity we will created directory
"aws" in ~/ and store all necessary files there for a quick access.

directory
* chroot environment will be created in /chroot
* Amazon's account certificate and private key will be stored in
~/.ec2 "
