    - change "any" volume usage to corespond to changes in Nebulous::Server
    - add neb-replicate --copies option
    - fix neb-stat to work when a neb key is used that implies a storage volume
      that does not have instances on it
    - make neb-ls non-recursive by default and add a --recursive flag
    - add neb-copies util
    - move print_all_xattrs(), print_xattrs(), write_xattrs(), delete_xattrs(),
      and parse_xattr_pair() from neb-xattr into Nebulous::Util
    - change replicate() to report when it fails to cleanup (after a failure)
    - add neb-xattr util
    - change Nebulous::Client->find() to handle a volume param and to fall back

      failing
    - only send fatal errors to the screen

    - overhaul SOAP fault message handling
    - suppress non-existant key errors from Nebulous::Client->find_instances()
    - in Nebulous::Client->stat(), handle the SOAP quirk of thinking an "undef"
      return is a fault (even when no fault code is set).

      ->removexattr_object()
    - change ->create() to accept volume == undef
    - modernize neb-touch API calls

      is a failure

    - fix neb-df coding issues
