Well, sort of. At first, I used the ‘imp’ module to import the file directly. However, having the file there — for everyone to see — seems both cleaner and more maintainable. And less of a hack too :-)

When absent in the installed docutils, I also import the manpage writer from ‘doc’. We might want to consider moving either ‘gendoc’ or both of them into the core; for extensions.

Even if it's in my private queue, I'd rather not remove it just yet; first, I'd like some confirmation that distutils is able to reproduce all the functionality of the Make builds.
