Info wanted on V.2 user crontabs

Out of frustration, I'm in the process of writing an improved cron that
satisfies my particular needs.  As long as I was at it, I figured I might
as well put in the "user crontab" idea from V.2.  The only problem is I
don't have any idea what it looks like, so I can't make mine compatible.

It's probably illegal to send me a copy of the man page, but if somebody
could summarize the relevant differences between /usr/lib/crontab and
user crontabs (e.g., how does cron find them, and are there any restrictions?),
I'd sure appreciate it.

Please *mail* responses;  I don't even read this group regularly, and there is
no reason to clutter up the net with this.

Thanks in advance.
