Load an additional configuration file into conf.py namespace.
The name of the configuration file is taken from the environment
SPHINX_CONF. The external configuration file extends (or overwrites) the
configuration values from the origin conf.py. With this you are
able to maintain *build themes*.
E.g. to create your own nit-picking *build theme*, create a file
Documentation/conf_nitpick.py::
nitpicky=True
nitpick_ignore = [
("c:func", "clock_gettime"),
...
]
and run make with SPHINX_CONF environment::
make SPHINX_CONF=conf_nitpick.py htmldocs
