Our current build/packaging system is at the limits of what one can do
just with a Makefile and shell scripts. This ticket aims to implement a
new system
* Git-aware: use SHA1 hashes instead of timestamps for dependency
calculations
* Unified machine-readable package configuration using YAML
* Dependency handling also for optional packages
* Distinction between different types of dependencies: build time, runtime
hard/soft, testing.
* Modular, allowing for easy experimentation with per-package backends
* written in pure Python without any dependencies
* doctested for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4.
The entire package configuration will be in a file
`SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/<name>/package.yaml`, for example
