This is very easy, if we use a requiremts.txt file where we stick the versions and run the sphinx in this build in a virtualenv which is build up by this requirements.txt.

To summarize, I recommend a Makefile.sphinx cmd which does something like:
virtualenv output/myenv source output/myenv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt sphinx-build ...
I guess this is something we should discuss with Jon, he is also familiar with it virtualenv.
That would perhaps make the build more reliable, but it would also make the build dependent on net access to PyPI, and that's not an idea I like a whole lot. We should be able to do a build without going out on the network.
I'm kind of pressed for time, but will try to ponder on this more shortly...
