New submission from Jeff Hinrichs:

if you run
  setup.py check --restructuredtext
without docutils installed, it will appear to pass

if you add the -s flag, it will error and inform you that docutils is not 
installed.   

So nothing is reported and return results are the same as a "passing" check.

$ python setup.py check --restructuredtext
running check

$ python setup.py check --restructuredtext -s
running check
error: The docutils package is needed.


The not strict version is a little too loose to be of any good.
