Yet another thing that should be relatively straightforward to finish but not vital for 4.0 and give the resources and amount of work left for 4.0 sadly need to move to +1

This turned out to be complicated there are two ways to approach this.
1) Install rst2pdf and modify build_sphinx.py to create pdf
2) Modify build_sphinx.py to create latex file and then use pdflatex to generate pdf.
The issue with 1) is that it doesn't really work 2) requires all the images converted to png (both gif and bmp), which are quite many

This now works. PDF is built only on Ubuntu build server. Artifact needs to be copied to wherever we want it — the website for now. Will add this instruction to wiki. Can now close this ticket.
Make file is already set to make pdf. But pdf is generated from a latex make first and this requires the build machine to have a TeK installation. TeK is not currently on DMSC build servers.
