Ok, thanks!

An option at Sphinx to handle warnings as errors would be useful. Yet,
it is not hard to modify my build scripts to handle WARNING as errors.

Yeah, we'll need this for figures and tables too.

Ah, yes, I noticed that the .. todolist was causing warnings...
I ended by adding a patch removing it internally, as there weren't
anything at the todo block :)

OK!
