Several documents contain invalid reST markup that "leaks" into the 
html output (missing ``, incorrect indentation, etc.)
This patch fixes the obvious ones.

Many thanks! Applied in r68171.

Did you find those yourself, or with some sort of tool?

I did a search on the .html files using a regular expression, and 
manually filtered out the false positives.
The expression used was this "::[^=]|:[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]+|`|\.\.\s*\w
+:"
I'll try to come up with a useable tool.

Could you also fix the indentation of "Queues" example code at
http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#exchanging-objects-between-processes
?

Done.

This patch includes some (sort of) checker for suspicious constructs 
that resembles markup that has leaked into the final output.

It's a new Builder for Sphinx, and works with the docutils nodes, not 
the source files directly.

"doc-Makefile.diff" updates both make.bat and the Makefile, adding a 
new target "suspicious".

The "ignored.csv" file contains the rules to discard false positives.

"builder.diff" updates builder.py in Sphinx, adding a new builder 
implemented in suspicious.py; the source code has some comments 
explaining how it's used.

Execute `make suspicious`, a "suspicious.csv" file is created in build/
suspicious containing one line per issue found.

Currently, the only relevant message I get is about the :makevar: role 
usage in c-api/init.rst -- looks like docutils doesn't properly 
processes it.

There is something I don't like in the code -- suspicious.py is 
generic, lives inside the Sphinx directory, but knows not to process 
the "documenting" directory inside Python [there are too much false 
positives there -- most of the examples contain actual reST markup]. 
But I don't know enough of Sphinx to make it better :(

Thanks very much! I've added this to the Python doc tools in r68290.
