I have a similar usage scenario in mind and did a quick hack to do just this
(see comment #48). It works nicely in several ways:
*) Annotations keep associated with the file after renaming it.
*) It also works for non-local URLs (http://...) since we don't need to care
for mapping the URL to some valid file name.
*) Annotations keep associated with the file after downloading it from the web
and opening a local copy (possibly under a different name).

A cmake module to detect the mhash library (or complain if it's not available)
should probably be written.

BTW (to submit my vote :-), I very much like the idea of having separate files
for storing annotations since this makes it possible to merge annotations from
different people. Nevertheless, I would also love to see the option to store
annotations directly in the file (at least for file formats which support this,
such as PDF).

Kind regards,
Markus
