Comment (by ncohen):
> 2. When building Sage, usually you run `make` which runs individual
`sage -i` commands, keeping in mind dependencies between packages.

> Having `sage -i` run `make` makes little sense, just like having `gcc`
run `make` makes little sense.
For this reason, a way out would be to have:
1) sage -i --nodep # install without taking dependencies into account.
That would be what 'make' calls when building Sage on each individual
package
2) sage -i # that would call make, and thus take dependencies into
account.
Thus, running 'sage -i' would call make, which in turn would call 'sage -i
--nodep' individually on the packages that need be installed. And this
way, the user interface does not change. And this way, dependencies will
be taken into account by default.
