Changelog: 

Let's not show a big download button when people try to download Pidgin for
OS X.  Do people think it's common to use Pidgin on OS X?  I feel like most
people won't know what to do when they click the download button and get a
source package.  So instead I linked to the source download page at the
bottom of the page.  Does this change sound reasonable to people?
