I really like the idea of using rst2pdf and keeping the huge latex
dependency out of the mix.  I am a bit concerned, though; I've been able
to crash it in my experiments here.  We may want to have the ability to
support either chain eventually; otherwise, we might just end up picking
up maintenance of rst2pdf at some point so that it works properly for us.
