Boto can accept non-Amazon hostnames, but there's a bit of a trick to
making it work with tabled.  As of September 10, this was the magic formula.

>>> import boto
>>> import logging
>>> boto.set_file_logger("boto","/tmp/boto.out",logging.DEBUG)
>>> from boto.s3 import Connection
>>> x = Connection("foo","bar",host="localhost4",port=18080,is_secure=False,debug=99,calling_format=boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat())
>>> x.get_all_buckets()

The magic is in the calling_format part, which took a little while to
puzzle through.  We should probably consider supporting the default
calling format to make use of boto-based tools easier.
