#26 Links to JAR files were in web page documentation

[Brent Nelson]

The old web page which was ported to the wiki had hard links to compiled code in the form of JAR files for the two utilities documented in the Utilities tab. These links are not in the wiki and so that documentation is incomplete.

Do we want to provide these in the future and, if so, where do we put them so we can link to them?

Those files are releases of our software, so they should probably be added
to the files section ("Downloads") of our web site, and links changed to
point there. In fact, it looks like the files are already there, at this
link:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/phdl/files/PHDL%20v.2.1%20-%20Standalone%20Compiler/

Links have been added to the wiki to the file download page for phdlcomp.jar, phdltran.jar, phdl_utils.jar, and EagleDeviceGen.jar

However, I think that the update site for the plugin is on the phdl.sourceforge.net site specifically at http://phdl.sourceforge.net/update so, in-order for users to be able to download or install the plug-in we need to leave that intact, at least until we figure out what we're going to do in the future.

If it's anything that needs to let users connect via http and download
directly without any click-through or redirects, it has to be in the web
area, not files, so that's probably the right place to put that stuff.
