Staticwebsync: automating the fiddly bits of hosting web sites on S3/CloudFront

There seemed to be a lot of interest when Amazon announced the new S3 features for hosting web sites a few weeks ago (I think I saw three separate HN posts about it), so I thought I'd announce this new tool here. The idea of it is to take out the painful bits of using S3 and CloudFront (like doing cache invalidations) so that you don't need to know anything specific about how the services work to use them. Hopefully it makes syncing to CloudFront as easy as using FTP or rsync.
