I just made a CVS download/install of docutils, but there is really
nothing dreamcatcher-like in it, although this page says quite the
contrary: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/#the-sandbox .

So, I've dowloaded your stuff seperately from here:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/sandbox/dreamcatcher/

Even when doing so, I'm still frustrated, because you seem to need
patched versions of these modules:

   reportlab/lib/rparsexml.py
   reportlab/pdfgen/canvas.py
   reportlab/platypus/para.py

Could you elaborate on why that is the case, please?

Thanks,

Dinu
