| The following is an extraction of the important auth interfaces from the AWS SDK. |
| These interfaces are only those needed to establish credentials with AWS, and |
| include nothing else from the AWS SDK. |
| Major changes have been made to remove the dependencies on Joda-time, jackson |
| and other similar dependencies. |
| A few small changes have been made to use guava utilities over those provided |
| This SDK is vastly stripped down from the original, and only covers the basics |
| required to read auth tokens in standard AWS ways |
| Patches are applied over released maven source jars and not git sources. |
| There is a _basic_ shell script `update.sh` that covers the patching process, |
| as well as by SDK versioned patch files in `patches-vs-$sdk_version` |
