reStructuredText package makes it impossible to override settings

[strank]

The reStructuredText package in Zope is overzealous to impose its settings dict on rendering docutils-restructuredtext.
Attached is a patch that honours all of the settings dict passed in by users.

Instead of copying the settings dict first, it uses it to update a new dict, after adding overridable settings and before adding settings based on the keyword parameters.

There is no patch

[strank (strank)]

Yes there is. Launchpad, however, does not want you to find it... Click on 'View original description' and you will get the link: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9460752/zoperest-honourusersettings.patch
cheers

[Simon Michael (simon)]

+1 for applying this patch.

[Tres Seaver (tseaver)]

The patch needs a review to ensure that the re-ordering doesn't allow for unexpected
propagation of Zope-unsafe options, e.g.: file inclusion.

It should also include tests.
