The software is named 'docutils' and provides executables into
/opt/csw/bin; however, there isn't a 'docutils' executable.  I'd say -
it's not a standalone program.

When building new versions of these packages, maintainers will be
confronted with a checkpkg error.  They will have the opportunity to
review their packages and rename them if they decide to do so.
