Comment:

 The following should work without building Sage:
 {{{
 jdemeyer@arcanis:/usr/local/src/sage-5.4.beta1$ ./sage --sh
 ************************************************************************
 It seems that you are attempting to run Sage from an unpacked source
 tarball, but you have not compiled it yet. Please run `make` in the Sage
 root directory first. Read README.txt for more information.
 ************************************************************************
 }}}

 I propose to move the check inside the `sage_setup` function in
 `spkg/bin/sage` (remember to apply #13459 first!)
