rst.el (rst-mode) doesn't work with emacs 22

Binary package hint: python-docutils

The rst-mode that comes with the rst.el in docutils 0.4 doesn't work with emacs 22. A new (and nicely working) version is available here:

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/tools/editors/emacs/rst.el

As a workaround, either require lazy-lock before loading rst-mode.el, or

(setq font-lock-support-mode '((rst-mode . jit-lock-mode) (t . jit-lock-mode)))

Confirming, since it bit me too and I arrived at the same diagnosis.
