In fact there is no need to match an "even number of \" in the man
module, because \\ is changed to \e in shiftline (that makes the module
much simpler regarding this point).
Even the "(?<\\)\\" regex (\" not preceded by a \) is probably not needed
(maybe the current code should be checked/cleaned).

I've committed this (the intensive test suite was OK).
I've also changed Po.pm in order to allow multiples comment lines.

Note: not all comments will be available in the PO.  Comments may also be
added to the previous or next paragraph
