Re: Added pointers to FAQ, manual to mailing list welcome message.

I hadn't formulated any specific plans yet, other than a couple of very obvious things (incorporate the tutorial at http://www.php.net/tut.php3, and fix the two sections both named 'Expressions'). If you (or anyone else) has plans, post them to the php-dev list so we all know what's going on. Once I've got my head wrapped around where things are at, I'll post what I think the plan should be. Another obvious task is to once again go through the user errata and fold in all of the revisions. This is hard for me to do with many of the comments that relate to databases or other systems that I don't use, so if someone wants to tackle those, let us know here at php-dev.
