New description:
As noted [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/sage-
support/e0FQYUZnDMw on sage-support], the installation guide claims that
the SageTeX documentation is in
`SAGE_ROOT/local/share/texmf/tex/generic/sagetex`, but it is actually in
`SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/sagetex`.
Also, it may be appropriate to install the `example.tex` file into that
doc directory, instead of the texmf directory.
''Apply:'' attachment:trac_14246.patch and include the new spkg:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/drake/code/sage/st/sagetex-2.3.4.spkg.

Comment:
The patch fixes the installation guide, and the new spkg is identical to
the old one, except that it also puts `example.tex` into the documentation
directory. (In the src directory: example.tex is listed twice, once for
the texmf directory, and once for the docs directory. Yes, I am
deliberately wasting 20 kilobytes of disk space.)
