new download page

[Joshua Slive]

http://httpd.apache.org/download.html

I believe this is better than the current circumstances because it is clearer for the users, and it better enables us to direct people to the mirrors for the download and the main site for the signatures.

I've never particularly like the autoindex/README/HEADER thing. It is consfusing trying to figure out exactly what to download and there are notes scattered all over the place. And it works very poorly on the mirrors, since many of them are not configured in exactly the same was as www.apache.org.

I will be changing the links on httpd.apache.org to point to this page instead of directly at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/. I'll wait a day for corrections and comments.

I believe this should go a long way towards reducing daedelus bandwidth usage for httpd downloads. It will, of course, do nothing for jakarta/xml/etc.
