Libcloud REST

HTTP interface for Libcloud (http://libcloud.apache.org/) which exposes all the Libcloud functionality through a RESTful API. Currently Libcloud has a big limitation - you can only use it with Python. Adding a REST interface would allow users to leverage Libcloud functionality through an arbitrary language which knows how to talk HTTP.
