5709	boost.build docutils module not working	Stefan Seefeld	Vladimir Prus	"I'm trying to use the docutils tool as part of boost.build, which results in errors.
The reason appears to be that on my system (Fedora), there is no ""rst2html.py"" script, but a ""rst2html"" tool (a python script) in /usr/bin.

The docutils module initialization doesn't know about it, and then invokes ""python -gdt ..."" instead of ""rst2html -gdt ..."" or ""python rst2html.py -gdt ..."", which is clearly wrong.

I think there are two issues here to fix:

1) Instead of generating an invalid command, detect that the ""rst2html.py"" script doesn't exist, and bail out.

2) Allow alternate scripts, such as ""rst2html"". Or more conveniently, discover that script automatically, and use it as RST2XXX in docutils.jam.

(I have been attempting to debug this, by injecting ""ECHO ... "" commands into the docutils.jam file. However, these weren't working. Depending on where I inserted them, I received errors ""ECHO: command not found"" or others.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
