Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer.

./manual/usernotes/[PAGE].txt

(where [PAGE] is the unique name for each manpage. Each file is a serialized
array, exactly as returned from the DB. The "show comments" section of
shared-manual.inc checks to see if it's www.php.net. If not, it looks in
usernotes/ for the comment-files, and shows them if they're there).

There's still a bit of work to do here : efficient updates to mirrors,
security, etc; but I think having the comment-files in CVS would be tidier
(though require an entry in crontab).
