Bug Description
Amazon opens new regions regularly and the static list becomes a limiting factor immediately. Remove the static list and instead just validate it for proper format. The format would just be a valid DNS hostname, since it is just prepended to amazonaws.com.
The value could be validated in a second pass once an EC2 connection has been established using the AWS call DescribeRegions , but that call does not currently exist in txaws.
Note that this is a Low priority, as there is a workaround, which is to just set the ec2-uri to the appropriate endpoint for the desired region.

I'm not sure this should be Wishlist..
Every time Amazon adds a new region this will *appear* as if Juju can't
talk to it.
We of course know that we can change the ec2-url to point at whichever
region we want, but that will be too late, as some users will just assume
it just won't work. :-/
