 This plugin allows ikiwiki to publish a wiki in the [Amazon Simple Storage
 Service](http://aws.amazon.com/s3) (S3). As pages are rendered, ikiwiki
 will upload them to Amazon S3. The entire wiki contents, aside from the
 ikiwiki CGI, can then be served directly out of Amazon S3.

-Important note: You should seriously consider turning off `usedirs` before

-in S3 *twice*, as "page/index.html" and as "page/". That will cost you
