Hi Vladimir,

Language selection is on my TODO list but nowhere easy to implement.
A lot of the rst files are used in doctests. I am not sure they have 
any other functions. I thought they were used by the help system but 
I am not so sure now.
Culling may be useful since the install of sage-doc takes forever.
