[libcloud] API Access documentation
Hey guys, I've heard we need some API Access documentation, for people
having trouble accessing their API Keys from the different providers. I have
written an example of something that we can maybe add to the wiki at some
point. Check it out, let me know what you think.

I believe this is because we used to only offer Cloud Files, and when Cloud Servers was introduced no one moved it to a more sensible place. I'll suggest that it be changed.

As a user, the most confusing thing to me about Rackspace in particular
was that an API key needed to be generated first be enabled under the
Hosting/CloudFiles tab. Don't know if you recall doing that (I barely
do because it's only needed once but), but it might be a good thing to
add. (I'm using CloudServers why is the API key under CloudFiles? Why
Rackspace?)
It is in the knowledge base though...
