#6550: We need to be able to save itermediate files - particulary for ATLAS

 Priority:  major        |   Milestone:  sage-4.1.1
Component:  algebra      |    Keywords:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 When ATLAS builds, it goes through a lengthly tuning process (taking 8.5
 hours on 't2'). That could be shorted, by saving architectural defaults,
 but that needs the temporary files.

 Setting

 {{{
 DELETE_TMP=0
 }}}

 on line 76 of $SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-spkg causes a syntax error.

 We need way to do this. Preferably from an environment variable.

 In theory, if the line is changed to:

 {{{
 DELETE_TMP="${REMOVE_TMP:-1}"
 }}}

 then setting the environment variable REMOVE_TMP to 0 would make
 DELETE_TMP change from 1 to 0. Otherwise, it would default to 1.

 But all I get are syntax errors.

 To me, this is an important enhancement if we want to reduce the build
 time of Sage on 't2'
