Feature or Bugfix
Purpose
We package sphinx in Fedora Linux and we don't really have a strong reason to pull in packages like applehelp there.
I decided to see if we could get rid of them.
Detail
Note that this is a very early draft. I am yet to test this in Fedora and see if this approach is feasible.It works for us.If it is, this obviously requires some documentation changes and possible deprecations. I am however unable to drive that forward right now. I would be interested to hear from the Sphinx maintainers whether this approach makes sense or not at all.
