Title: generate homepage from markdown

The homepage of underscore is written in pure html, I think it would be easier to write markdown.

I've created a [static site generator in node](http://lab.lepture.com/nico/), and in the latest release, it has the feature to generate pages like you did in underscorejs.org.

It's easier to write markdown than html, but you've already created the html page, it maybe not worth a replacement, and I can understand that.

However, it worths a try, when you start a project from scratch, it would help a lot.

I've transform the html page to markdown at [docs/index.md](https://github.com/lepture/underscore/blob/nico-doc/docs/index.md), and add a task in Rakefile which is `homepage`.

I will provide more information, if you want.
