it must be unconditionally built and installed.
(when building the py-docutils package while already having it installed,
setup.py excluded the module, causing PLIST breakage with USE_DESTDIR=yes)

python*-pth packages into meta-packages which will install the non-pth
packages. Bump PKGREVISIONs on the non-pth versions to propagate the
thread change, but leave the *-pth versions untouched to not affect
existing installations.
Sync all PYTHON_VERSIONS_AFFECTED lines in package Makefiles.
Major changes since Docutils 0.3.5:
A special "line block" syntax useful for addresses, verse, and other cases
of significant line breaks has been added (also refer to the reStructuredText
Markup Specification).
Empty sections are now allowed.
A "raw" role has been added.
The LaTeX writer now escapes consecutive dashes (like "--" or "---") so that
they are no longer transformed by LaTeX to en or em dashes. If you want to
write en or em dashes using pure ASCII, please refer to the FAQ entry about
non-ASCII characters.
A dependency recorder has been added.
A directive has been added for compound paragraphs.
Many other improvements and bug fixes; see the history file of Docutils 0.3.7
at http://docutils.sourceforge.net/0.3.7/HISTORY.html.
Moved maintainership to myself as discussed with minsikkim@.
The purpose of the Docutils project is to create a set of tools
for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such
as HTML, XML, and TeX.
