[PATCH] fix phk build system

[Kacper Wysocki]

Fair point. there may or may not be more engineering effort into
making opt2rst and the associated build system changes than it would
actually take to update the rst files once in a while.

I am just guessing here, but perhaps the initial rationale was how to
keep the documentation up to date with the code without anyone having
to think about the options?
