Looks like pandas’ approach is to loop through the docs and exclude everything except the one you ask for. This is in the conf.py and the make.py sets the relevant environment variable. So probably could be done with our existing make files - though a python make script might remove the need for separate Windows and Linux make files?

Thanks @rcomer - something like that seems like it would be really helpful for us. I may play with it, but if anyone else w/ more sphinx experience wants to give it a shot, I think it'd be a pretty worthwhile project.
