I think someone else had best look at this.

It looks like all the GENINSRC rules / conditionals are still present.  
So maybe there are details where the paths are wrong, or where fixes are 
needed to ensure the files get installed from the source directory when 
available in the source directory but not available in the build directory 
because Sphinx isn't available, but much of the code for the feature is 
still there.
