I saw sphinx had it, never tried it, though.

Well, not having tried it yet, I am not able to give you a honest comparison 
:-)

However, rst2qhc tries to work with plain rst files, one manual per file, 
instead of the structure sphinx creates/requires. I expect it to be simpler.
And 0.2 (released 2 minutes ago) is pretty much feature-complete for what I 
wanted.
