Comment (by davidsarah):

 This is implemented on the ticket999-S3-backend branch, and interoperates
 successfully with S3, but it doesn't have thorough tests. The key to
 making it work without needing the storage server to hold admin
 credentials for the AWS account was, somewhat counterintuitively, to use a
 "desktop" !DevPay product rather than a "hosted" product.

 Some of the necessary support code is in Least Authority Enterprises'
 website repository rather than in Tahoe-LAFS. We should document what the
 code that is in Tahoe-LAFS depends on in terms of !DevPay activation and
 setup. (Note that it isn't necessary to use !DevPay in order to use the S3
 backend.)
