rst2newlatex requires picins.sty.
picins.sty is distributed with tetex (in tetex-extra), but not
texlive. Since tetex is now moribund[1], docutils should be modified
to work with texlive.
"I (Thomas Esser) have decided not to make new releases of teTeX
any more (May 2006). The information below might get out of date
as time goes by. I suggest anybody interested in teTeX to join the
TeX Live project."
