I added a better documentation for the tool at the v2. With regards to move to tools, I'm not certain about it as I can see advantages and disadvantages. Creating a new directory to have just one tool on it seems overkill to me. Also, it is easier to type "scripts/..." than "tools/testing/build/..." :-) There is another aspect: while doing conf.py and Documentation/Makefile cleanup, I noticed that there are still lots of hacks inside them, that are there from the early days when we adopted Sphinx. Perhaps it could make sense to move part of the logic there to this new build tool, which could, for instance, replace the logic inside scripts/sphinx-pre-install and get rid of some magic at the Makefile like the one which handles SPHINXDIRS. So, at least for now, I would prefer to keep it under scripts. Thanks, Mauro
