amazon 6.x-1.0-beta1

Initial beta release of Amazon module for Drupal 6. Offers access to a fair chunk of the Amazon Ecommerce Web Services, with local caching of data, cron-based updating of product information, and so on. Allows additional plugin modules to manage additional data and theming for specific product types (storing extra fields for DVDs or grocery items, etc). Offers a CCK field for Amazon products, simple integration with the Views module, integration with Drupal's search APIs, and an input filter for inserting product links and thumbnails into text.

Also cures cancer.

CCK and Views integration should be considered experimental only, as those modules are both still in BETA/ALPHA. Search integration still has a way to go as well, and several bits of extra data are not yet handled cleanly (formatted prices, author information for music, etc).

The core API is stable, though, and provides a nice starting point for custom Amazon integration.
