[Starcluster] EC2 Cluster Compute Instances

[Dan Yamins]

This is great.   Using them in a meaningful way though will require
integrating a bunch of new amazon concepts into starcluster

  http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/

especially, connecting the "cluster placement groups" with starcluster's
existing cluster concept and configuration options.     But I'm sure Justin
hasn't got anything else to work on :)
