Thanks.

It looks like we should at least be able to track downloads from the 
homepage with something like the patch for 
http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1989.

Not sure about adding a class name to wiki links, but we could also 
modify the patch to look for all anchors with href matching 
/^(http:\/\/openlayers.org)?\/download\//.

Thoughts?
