Comment(by nthiery):
The readlink -f workaround is better than nothing, and should not make
things worst for systems like BSD. I would vote for including it now, in
waiting for a better solution.
Should I set a positive review?
Besides, what about adding a switch to sage -t to specify manually that
the given file is inside or outside the sage source tree?
This would make a workaround for MacOX X, and also be occasionally be
useful. For example, I often run tests from one sage source tree with
another sage to compare the results.
