Simplifying CD downloads

Currently, the CD download link from the website leads to a bare Apache
directory index, with no guidance about which CD to download.  This has led
to some users downloading the wrong CD.

Attached is a mockup of the result of adding a header and text descriptions
to the index.  I recommend that we add HEADER.html and .htaccess to the CD
image download directory for Warty.

Comments?  It would be especially nice if someone more design-oriented would
fix up the HTML so that it looks nice.
