changes to download page

[robert burrell donkin]

i've just committed some pretty significant changes to the download pages 
on the jakarta website. as some of you will already be aware, the ASF has 
to pay for bandwidth and this means that it's very important to move from 
the old system of release directories to the new mirrored ones.

from the statistics collected by infrastructure, it appears that even for 
jakarta releases available through the mirrors, many people prefer to 
download them from the main distribution site. in an attempt to persuade 
people to do the right thing, i've link the signature, md5 and KEYS files 
(from the main apache site) directly and moved all the downloads from the 
main site into a subsidary page.

1. this now means that subprojects which do not have the latest release in 
the mirrored directories are no longer linked from the main download page.
 please do not add a link to the unmirrored directories, instead move your 
latest release to the mirrors. here's a step by step guide http://jakarta.
apache.org/site/convert-to-mirror.html.

2. i've done my best to check but there's a high probability that there 
are bugs out there on these download pages. i'd appreciate it if people 
could take a look.
