We can do that certainly - but I don't want to do both, otherwise
we'll end up with too much text on there that people will just ignore
(we know from experience this happens with installation wizards).
There is already additional text on the page that needs to stay (the
"It's complete" text and "Leave this checked to run StackBuilder and
download Slony/PostGIS/psqlODBC/Whatever" checkbox).

So, which link is preferred?
