At first Soren and I tried to have no javascript at all on the site. The
pulldown menus in the function reference is javascript and so maybe we
shouldn't be so strict on that point.

This might be a matter of just reorganizing the page and CSS. Putting
the links for the details and download beside the package title rather
than under it, might allow almost all of the packages on a single page.
