Yes, I didn't have in mind that it would break existing scripts which
use Docutils programmatically.  The best thing to do would be to raise
the warning only when Docutils is used non-programmatically, IMO,
because when used from the command-line, chances are high that the
missing stylesheet can be easily fixed (which is not the case for
scripts like rest2web).

Fiddling with HTML writer settings in process_programmatic_settings
smells veeery bad.  What about adding a "_programmatic" setting,
automatically set by process_programmatic_settings?  The HTML writer
could query this setting then.
