Round two of the front page structure changes...

Greetings yet again,

Last night my brain just went in several different directions on
how well this could turn out.  And yet, there is always that lingering
thought of how bad this could end up if I'm not careful.  Taking a
few comments on the list and off, as well as a few of my own ideas,
i've crafted another patch.

This patch is rough around the edges and not commit-ready, even
though it does build.  My goal with this one was to throw out some
ideas, sort of get the ball rolling.  So, honest opinions are very
welcome here...  This patch will:

o Break up the support area into two different types.  Multi-language
  and English (since the site is in English anyway).  This will add
  a link to the translated documents on the front page.  With this
  I tried to be fair and place all the multi-language and english-only
  options in two categories.  This may need another look-over.

o Takes a stab at the Vendors area, without any modification.  The
  vendors link(s) should probably go under our Software or 'Getting
  FreeBSD' areas.  But this can be argued.

o Adds the upcoming events link under a Community section.  It could
  be argued that local user groups should go here in place of under
  Support.  But a broader opinion on that would be nice...

Comments please...  :)
