Comment (by ncohen):
> the more tests are actually being run, the better. If something breaks
for someone who has an unblessed by Sage install of a MMA member, it's OK,
a good warning...
And that's the only way for us to learn in how many ways such installs can
be broken, and act upon it by fixing our interfaces.
Besides, in the case where you really don't have those external softwares
installed, checking whether they can be run should be as fast as detecting
that the executable cannot be found. So we can also improve that, if we
find it too slow.
