Comment:
So my only objection to `SPKG_INST` is that it follows the convention of
`SPKG_ROOT` which has been replaced with `SAGE_PACKAGES`, so it seems like
a slight regression.
On the other hand, `SPKG_INST` makes sense in the context of trying to
move to a real package manager, and that this directory only records the
installations of spkgs (as opposed to packages installed with other
methods). From this perspective, I agree that `SPKG_INST` would be a
better name (enough to outweigh my objection).
As for documentation, from what I can tell there is no documentation on
any development related variables, so I've made a new ticket for the task.
