The pages are no longer useful, I think.  PyCon is not likely to use
the PSF's ancient donation CGI, and the PSF is likely to replace it
within the next year.  The ../register/ could just go to www.pycon.org
with a RedirectPermanent, but I think it'll drop out of search indexes
quickly once that's done.

You can't add redirects through the SVN checkout; someone has to tweak
the web server.  (build/redirects.txt is long out of date and not
used.)
