 AMI IDs are getting more and more and we'll probably have soon other
 public cloud services and not only Amazon. To make this part easier to
 maintain we should think about a script. I have an idea, it could work
 like this:

 * use fedimg to get the IDs of the AMIs for all regions
 * put the IDs into a specific file (a dedicated ami_id.py variable file?)
 * all html files can get the IDs from that file simply by calling the
 variables
 * we should add the execution of the script to our makefile. This way we
 can update all IDs on every page manually just by doing ''make amis''.
At
 the next build the IDs would be in the html pages

 The source from where the script gets the IDs can be datanommer but also
 other sources. Not sure which one is easier and faster.

 Ideas? Comments? Other proposals?
