Comment (by leif):
Replying to [comment:5 vbraun]:

Well, that's standard(ized) (Bourne) shell behavior.

and moved into `sage_bootstrap` for a) error checking sanity and b)
testability and c) having a single point of truth for if and when a
directory is a package. But not on this ticket...
Even if we keep it in `configure[.ac]`, the shell functions could be
improved (e.g. not rereading the folders and files five times). But we
could of course use Python there as well, where it (creating the Makefile)
IMHO belongs.
Note that while we meanwhile require a system python, AFAICS there's not a
single test for python in `configure`yet.
