New description:

 `sage -sync-build` doesn't understand wildcards, so it deletes a bunch of
 correctly-installed `sage.symbolic` modules.

 Really, the whole concept is broken. We should at the very least record
 what is being installed instead of trying to guess it in sync-build. Even
 better, make it part of the build process (assuming it doesn't take much
 time).

 There is quite a lot of setup code, none of which is doctested. And,
 therefore, broken. As this ticket shows. I've started to move setup code
 into a `sage_setup` package that is installed with Sage and can be
 doctested in the usual manner.

 Also:
 * Having `SAGE_LIB` point to `SAGE_SRC` is actually never useful, removed.
