Definitely worth doing; I'm not sure how much flexibility there is
there.

I'd *really* like to avoid carrying our own theme if at all possible...

The right solution might be to actually split the books apart and do the
intersphinx thing; I've not really looked into that at all.

Yeah, Alabaster doesn't seem to have that.  Providing that ability in
conf.py shouldn't be *that* hard to do; it doesn't use that many colors,
though there might be a fair amount of CSS to override.
