[PATCH] wip: support differently named sphinx-build binaries

[PATCH] wip: support differently named sphinx-build binaries

[Tomi Ollila]

Needed at least on Fedora 28 when only python3-sphinx is installed.

This is just midway to quick hack (which I used when updating wiki
manpages) and full support (and will time fix this before anyone
really cares)...
