Sebastian Spaeth 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.

.. OfflineImap API documentation
.. currentmodule:: offlineimap
Welcome to :mod:`offlineimaps`'s documentation
==============================================
Within :mod:`offlineimap`, the classes :class:`OfflineImap` provides the high-level functionality. The rest of the classes should usually not needed to be touched by the user. Email repositories are represented by a :class:`offlineimap.repository.Base.BaseRepository` or derivatives (see :mod:`offlineimap.repository` for details). A folder within a repository is represented by a :class:`offlineimap.folder.Base.BaseFolder` or any derivative from :mod:`offlineimap.folder`.
This page contains the main API overview of OfflineImap |release|.
OfflineImap can be imported as::
from offlineimap import OfflineImap
The file ``SubmittingPatches.rst`` in the source distribution documents a
number of resources and conventions you may find useful. It will eventually
be merged into the main documentation.
