[OSGeo-Fundraising] Link to project sponsors

[Tyler Mitchell]

The rationale is essentially to show the outside world that there are  
noteworthy people giving us money and, if they dig deep enough, they  
can find out who.  The foundation level sponsors are clear and I  
don't want to dilute it further.  But if we keep the links relegated  
to the footer of that page, i.e. in "for more information" it can be  
less intrusive.  With that in mind perhaps we can avoid creating  
whole new 'sections' on the page, and just add links that are a  
couple words or more like:

...
For more information
Other sponsors support particular OSGeo projects: <a>GDAL/OGR</a>.   
To sponsor OSGeo or discuss sponsorship opportunities further, please  
contact:

...

We can deal with local chapter sponsors when the time comes, or do  
you think it is imminent?
