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.
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.
