Comment:
I've updated `doc/en/tutorial/sagetex.rst`. In particular:
* I put the installation instructions above the example, since the example
is useless until TeX can find `sagetex.sty`.
* The review of Sage describes a spectacularly unpleasant experience
getting SageTeX to work. Some of his problems, I am sure, were related to
the errant `sagetex.sty` that was included in TeXLive 2009 and which
caused much misery. But it seems like he spent a long time trying to
define systemwide environment variables. Yikes. So I demoted the
`TEXINPUTS` bit in the installation guide.
* I included some info on symlinking, which is actually the very best way
to let TeX find the `.sty` file.
* I updated the location of the source code, which is now in
`...texmf/tex/latex/sagetex` instead of `...texmf/tex/generic/sagetex`.
* Some other cruft was deleted.
