Attached is a patch which changes some CSS parameters when the page is
displayed on a "small" device. The definition of "small" is somewhat arbitrary
taken to mean a device, whise horizontal size is no more tham 50em.

On such devices (or when you just shrink your browser window), the download
button becomes a separate item above the spacefun banner, the padding
around the content is removed and the search box is reduced a bit.

I had also to move the spacefun background from the #content div to the #splash
one in order to make the download button independent. The change is active for
wide browsers too, but there is no visual difference.

I hope this is useful.
