Claus you read my mind

I've now committed the code of Paul with a couple of minor changes in
the html to git. The page http://www.gnome.org/friends/thank-you.html
should show up soon I guess. I don't know how often the website is
synced from git (Anybody knows??)

One thing I changed is the "alt" tag of the image. I've put there
"Become a friend of GNOME". That way if you google on that exact
string you can get an indication of how many badges are on the web.
