R3 Buckets Public Directory Listing and Static Website Support

We've been hard at work building a frontend to the R3 storage service that supports
directory listing and static website hosting similar to Amazon S3.

Objects set to public access can always be linked directly using your bucket name and object path.
If a bucket and its contents are set to public and you link to a folder, the R3 system looks for an
index.html then index.html file. If either exist, that file is served up to the user.
If no index file is present, a directory listing is generated.
