[antlr-interest] woohoo! new site doubles downloads

[Terence Parr]

Howdy folks,

I built the new ANTLR site this summer partly because the old one 
sucked, but partly because for marketing reasons.  I was curious to 
know what affect the new good-looking site would have on downloads.  
Well, it more than doubled them!

In July we had almost 5000 downloads of any version and after the new 
site came up, it went to 19k in August then popped down in September.  
Back to 11k in October and already over 11k downloads in November.  
Sweeeet!

Interesting study in programmer marketing.  Well worth the $1k I spent 
out of pocket for the design, eh?
