[wsf-c-dev] Amazon web services solution using wsclient

[Damitha Kumarage]

Hi team,
Before further work on the Amazon ws solution using wsclient I would 
like to have your feed back on my current work.

Currrently what it can do is something like this

sh easy_buy_amazon.sh --subscription_id=0EADDHWF3PPVRSMBB2R2 
--op=ItemLookup --op_args="ItemId=B00008OE6I ResponseGroup=OfferFull"

There are two kinds of options user can provide; general options and 
operation specific options.
--subscription_id is a general option. Item_id is a operation specific 
option for the operation ItemLookup. User can use --help to see 
available options.

The ultimate goal is, by invoking certain operations as in the above 
example in a certain order he can do transaction with Amazon on command 
line.

I think a better name for the took is amazon_client.

What is remaining to do is
1. to create the neccessary xml template payloads by looking at amazon wsdl.
2. Write windows bat files for the tool
3. Uploading to the site Dimuthu has implemented for download.

thanks,
Damitha
