I'd be interested as well. I've actually been meaning to get to this myself and submit a patch to make the changes persist, but my schedule has been too hectic for any extra-curricular work recently. If you don't (and I'm hoping you will)... I will get to it eventually. ;)

Subject: Host Manager.

Is there is no documentation for the host-manager?

Very little that I've found.  You can learn a bit about it by looking at its 
WEB-INF/web.xml file.

If I remember correctly from this list it doesn't persist
its settings is that correct?

Correct.

How many people would be interested in it persisting its
settings, by editing the appropriate files.

I would be interested.  Note that there's only one file to edit: 
conf/server.xml.

Is that in theory possible?

It's all software...

to add the folder structure and the appropiate
context.xml files.

That's not necessary - the conf/Catalina/[host]/... files are already created 
automatically as webapps are deployed under the new<Host>.  Only 
conf/server.xml needs to be updated.

Would it interfere too badly with tomcat while
it was running?

No, Tomcat only reads server.xml during startup.  Whatever update mechanism is 
used must insure that the file is never in an unparsable state (e.g., don't 
update in place, instead create a new file and then rename it).
