74b133c500 Revamped documentation structure and some doc fixes
`make` in the `docs` dir or `make doc` in the root dir will now
create the 1) man page and 2) the user documentation using sphinx
(requiring python-doctools, and sphinx).

The resulting user docs are in `docs/html`. You can also
only create the man pages with `make man` in the `docs` dir.

Also fixed all .rst conversion errors as requested by Gentoo downstream.

fa0b1ef8ee Add beginnings of sphinx-based code documentation
The docs still need some meat, but the infrastructure is in place. THis
allows us to generate the nice looking API documentation that many
python projects already have. We should document our API better, providing
an overview of the functionality available.

c8b8e26735 Makefile: fix docutils commands call if extension is stripped
Looks like some distribution strip the extensions of the python commands and
some don't. Try to find the correct commands by ourself.

6eb56364e7 doc: migrate from SGML to restructuredtext
This is a great move to help contributors in maintaining documentation.

While doing huge changes in this area, do a bit more than simply SGML to rst:

 * move README from markdown to rst
 * make a "true" man page with no more information
 * refactor content and sections
