I haven't looked into the PHP documentation for quite some time anymore, and 
was wondering whether there are any updates on their structure which we could 
make use of. Back then, the format was very inconsistent for example. 
Downloading the PHP documentation will still be required in some form, I'm 
just unsure which version is the right one. Back then, a CVS/SVN/? checkout 
was required for the documentation. Maybe, nowadays the HTML tarball is 
sufficient?
