symlinks to releases

[Minh Ha Duong]

Hi Julian,

  The release notes :
http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.9/README.html

are very short. I would suggest that they at least link to the wiki
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2008.9_Update#Download_and_Flashing

See in that page what I wrote about symlinks and about upgrading. If they are 
correct, would you please add them to the README ?

Yours,
Minh
