Comment (by jhpalmieri):

 I'm not sure the [comment:7 issues in comment 7] were ever really
 resolved. Rather than merging this right away, it might be good to discuss
 it on sage-devel first. There are at least two issues:

 - if you run `sage --kash`, should it run a system version of kash if
 Sage's optional kash spkg hasn't been installed, or not?
 - in the old version there was some redundancy: the path to `gap`, for
 example, was explicit, to make sure that Sage's version of GAP was used.
 Is this redundancy important?

 Also, the positive review is not appropriate, since the [comment:21 issue
 in comment 21] was not fixed: the message for `sage --help` says that
 `sage --M2` (for example) runs "Sage's Macaulay2", but this is no longer
 accurate with the current patch.
