Comment (by ncohen):
> Can you elaborate what you mean with this?
I mean that CPLEX and Gurobi are not auto-detected from `$PATH` or
`$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. The corresponding cython modules are only built if
those instructions are followed:
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/thematic_tutorials/linear_programming.html
#using-cplex-or-gurobi-through-sage
Thus, I believe that it is safe to assume that if Sage can use
CPLEX/Gurobi then it means that the user wants it to be linked with Sage.
The situation is different when you install Sage on a machine that already
has mathematica installed, for it is automatically detected even though
the user may not want to use mathematica from Sage.
If I understood your objections to having automatic tests with
mathematica/maple, they do not apply to CPLEX/Gurobi because of this
installation procedure.
