In the new version of sage-env, there are two "if" statements
involving "$SAGE_PRINT_ENVIRONMENT".  It makes a lot of sense not to
print these by default (for example, when starting Sage), but maybe
the second group of statements, summarizing the settings of the
variables, should be printed at the start of the "make" process.  It
seems like that could help in debugging, and since the make produces
such a long install.log file anyway, adding a few lines doesn't seem
like a big deal to me.
