I've disabled the various modules and updated the homepage and
description to indicate the new location. I think that's about all I
can do.

So I don't seem to have root on that box any more (which is a good
thing). I had a cron job that attempted to run update-website.sh (with
no path), which was presumably failing as that script is not in my
home directory. It is in /home/pgfoundry.org/groups/psqlodbc though,
so I've renamed it in case root's cron was running it. I've also
replaced index.html with one that does a redirect.

Thanks for working on this Heikki.
