Write script to upload tiles to s3

[jpvelez]

Write script that uses s3cmd (command line utility) or boto (python library) to upload unpacked map map (png) and utfgrid (json) tiles to S3.

mbtiles unpacks tiles to /map_name/z/x/y/file.format.

This is a Good Thing, because that's the format the the tilejson file that loads the tiles on the client side expects:

http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/jpvelez.new_demo_permits/{z}/{x}/{y}.grid.json

s3 doesn't have folders. But you can simulate them by hacking the filename. So it the resulting s3 files should be accessible at

http:////.format

Let me know if this doesn't make sense, @maschinenmensch

@jpvelez FYI S3 does have folders so you can generate the tiles normally.
