Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as
pronounced in English. The goal is for names with the same pronunciation
to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched
despite minor differences in spelling. Soundex is the most widely
known of all phonetic algorithms and is often used (incorrectly)
as a synonym for "phonetic algorithm". Improvements to Soundex are
the basis for many modern phonetic algorithms. (Wikipedia, 2007)
This module implements the original soundex algorithm developed by
Robert Russell and Margaret Odell, patented in 1918 and 1922, as
well as a variation called "American Soundex" used for US census
data, and current maintained by the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
The soundex algorithm may be recognized from Donald Knuth's The Art
of Computer Programming. The algorithm described by Knuth is the
NARA algorithm.

Release 1.4 of py-sphinx made this dependency optional. So adapt the port
to match. Instead we add a BUILD_DEP on py-sphinx_rtd_theme to the 3 ports
that actually depend on it. This may make updating py-sphinx_rtd_theme a
bit easier to update in the future as fewer consumers would need testing.

Notable changes:
- Switch to using GH_ directives to fetch the distfile, release tarball
does not include the man page anymore
- Add a post-install target to install the man page
This update was submitted by Aisha Tammy as part of the batch of diffs
to get py-sphinx updated. However updating the rtd theme port also requires
regenerating packing lists for these consumers of py-sphinx:
