I could not find an elegant solution for this. I don't have that much
time to dedicate to this, but patches are welcome.

I promoted the ELPA version, but I want to allow the download the
archives, as it's still useful, even for normal users.

I think the page is fine now -- we can enhance the whole website
at the next big refreshment.

The links changed -- given that the "Installation instructions" are
often needed, I think it's good to have it here.

Let me know if the current page is at least 90% "good enough" :)
Thanks!
