I agree that 2/2 may be left out (I rather skip checking it for now ;)

The changes in 1/2 looks good, but you could have included the new python
definition in line ~454 in (new) configure, which originally is:

    if hash sphinx-build > /dev/null 2>&1 && python -m sphinx.writers.manpage >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then

(actually, this could be like:

    if command -v sphinx-build >/dev/null && "$python" -m sphinx.writers.manpage >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then

    (add that 2>&1 to be consistent with other code, I did not include it
    as I think it is wrong to do so ;))
