From: Markus Heiser <markus.hei...@darmarit.de>

Load an additional configuration file into conf.py namespace.

The name of the configuration file is taken from the environment
SPHINX_CONF. The external configuration file extends (or overwrites) the
configuration values from the origin conf.py.  With this you are
able to maintain *build themes*.

E.g. to create your own nit-picking *build theme*, create a file
Documentation/conf_nitpick.py::

  nitpicky=True
  nitpick_ignore = [
      ("c:func", "clock_gettime"),
      ...
      ]

and run make with SPHINX_CONF environment::

  make SPHINX_CONF=conf_nitpick.py htmldocs
