rst2html[.py] is only used to create the HTML variant of the user
documentation which can also be read as plain text, see
docs/user/midori.txt.
Midori should build fine also without this tool if you do *not*
explicitly specify --enable-userdocs.

The use of reStructuredText (ReST) is not new in Midori 0.1.5, it
already existed in earlier versions.
