First build samtools with libcurl enabled as described in
samtools-1.3.1/README. Then you should be able to access your files directly
on S3 by referring to them as s3://bucket/filename.bam etc.
Samtools/htslib will read the usual environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
etc) and configuration files (~/.aws/credentials, ~/.s3cfg, ~/.awssecret) to
find your credentials to use in authenticating to AWS S3.
