So there are two options if we want to go this way.

1. psqlodbc.postgresql.org which would be its own VM running lighttpd
and serving the static files you have in the psqlodbc-www.git repo.
Seems simple enough. There's not really all that much maintenance work
required -- it's just one more VM to update once in a while, which is
not a biggie really.

2. www.postgresql.org/psqlodbc which would go through Varnish and
whatnot. While this means we don't need a separate VM, but on the other
hand I think it will be harder to integrate getting the files from the
git repo and configured correctly in the vhost, etc.
