I really want this!

>From a doc writer's perspective I find this reST approach much easier to
grapple than the LaTeX one since I find reST markup nicer for simple things
like lists and bolding.   From a committer's POV I like this as it should
hopefully get more people to help with changes and make it easy for me to
build the docs locally to make sure the markup is correct.  And from a lazy
coder's POV I love it as Georg has already done all the work (and in Python
so if I really have to change something I have a better chance of figuring
out how).
