Pip can install from a git subdirectory (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/vcs-support/#url-fragments) -- this should work: `python -m pip install git+https://repo.or.cz/docutils.git#subdirectory=docutils`

** [patches:#189] Remove 'prest'**

xref sourceforge.net/p/docutils/mailman/message/36748625 -- an earlier attempt.

It has now been 11 years (08/12/2010), and no changes. The code will remain in the souce control history should anyone want to revive it.

The first commit removes all the files under /prest and the second removes a final reference in the docs.

This code was quite confusing to me when I was first looking throuh the Docutils source tree - I hestitated to contribute for a while as I thought I might need to know Perl or need to translate any contributions. 

As a current contributor, when searching through the full codebase, there are spurious results from prest that are annoying -- not insurmountable, but a common annoyance, and I think dropping this would solve both issues of clarity (Docutils is purely a Python project) and developer experience.
