doc/Makefile: detect the right name for rst2man and rst2html...
doc/Makefile: detect the right name for rst2man and rst2html docutils uses the .py extension on the commands, and so do their installer. Distribution packages might strip the .py, but the official name should work too.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML.

To do this, you'll need to install the rst2html and rst2man tools,
which are part of Docutils:

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

The rst2man tool is still in their so-called "sandbox". The above page
has links to tarballs of both Docutils and their sandbox.

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
