> (It's a bit funny to say Sage doesn't repect that `Makefile` variable
when it doesn't even have a `configure`; Sage's top-level Makefile
certainly doesn't follow any of those conventions, and the Sage library
currently doesn't use `make` at all.)
My copy of Sage has a configure. I must have repressed the previous state.
;)

> P.S.: Other config files end up below `$DOT_SAGE` (which defaults to
`$HOME/.sage/`).
While I'm at it: How about use something like the following to access
config files in general?
{{{
#!python
def configfile(name):
if os.exists(HOME + "/.sage/" + name)
return open(HOME + "/.sage/" + name)
return open("SAGE_ETC"+name)
}}}
This might increase readability and enable overrides.
