sphinxcontrib-packages 📦 Display a list of tools available on the host machine

This sphinx extension provides some directives to see what tools are available on the compiling machine. I wrote this because I was developing a sphinx extension calling system commands, and I wanted to be able to use is on readthedocs, but I did not know which tools were available there (and the Dockerfile is not precise enough).

What's new?

See changelog.

See the end of list for a (quick and dirty) Debian package.
