    _______________________________________________________

Details:

This patch defers the creation of new Amazon S3 buckets until the
BotoBackend.put() method is called by an action that writes data.

The S3 backend currently creates buckets for actions like "collection-status"
and "verify" that should be read-only operations.  This behavior can have
unintended consequences if duplicity is scripted.  (eg: Most AWS accounts are
limited to 100 buckets.)

Ideally, this patch need only change BotoBackend __init__, but there does not
seem to be a way to test for the invoked action without changing non-backend
code. (ie: By making 'action' a global variable in the commandline.py file.)
