More on downloads
I see what I have to do to fix this once and for all.

Makes sense. In any case, the page I just staged actually works, so unless
someone else has time to put into this, I think it's done for now.

The fact that CXF uses closer.cgi is probably due to the fact that it
used Confluence and that the available options to build a download
page are more limited than in the case of a Maven site.

Andreas,
Well, I decided to follow the pattern at CXF instead, since Dan is usually
way ahead of me. That uses 'closer.cgi' instead of 'download.cgi'. The
existing site was a broken attempt to use download.cgi.
I just checked in a version that works, after editing to fix years of sloppy
pathname edits. I'm surprised anyone's ever successfully download the
package :-)

Benson,
Did you have a look at the following page?
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-download-pages.html
I always thought that the download.cgi based mechanism is the
preferred way to build download pages.
