If we make the page that lists the mirrors a CGI on the site (just
like the downloadpages) we might be fine.

Will Eclipse use the mirrors of that list or is it a user choice? If
it is a user choice then the main page should be a CGI as well and
point to the mirrored jars so that Eclipse users would be forced to do
something explicitly if they want to download the jars from
apache.org.
