autodoc crashes when encounters option parser

[shimizukawa]

"make html" reports build error:

#!bash
sphinx-build: error: no such option: -b

when autodoc encounters following line:

#!python
(options, args) = parser.parse_args()

parser is the OptionParser from optparse module.

As suggested in the stackoverflow issue, don't unconditionally run code on import in the modules you autodoc.

Rather use a {{{if name == 'main':}}} clause to run your "script code".
