Comment:

 This [attachment:trac_6614-distutils_symlinks.patch patch] alters
 `setup.py` so that distutils includes broken symbolic links as it builds a
 source distribution of the Sage library.  Is this appropriate?

 If so, I can add another patch that replaces the `jsmath` directory in
 `$SAGE_DOC/common/static` with a symlink and updates the repository
 accordingly (i.e., reverses the patch mentioned
 [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5799#comment:11 here]).

 One caveat is that Python's [http://docs.python.org/library/os.html os]
 module supports symbolic links only on Unix systems.  If we need to avoid
 links altogether, we could instead copy jsMath to multiple locations from
 its own `spkg-install` script.
