Comment:
spkg-check tests whether latex is present, and then it actually runs
pdflatex. I suppose that anyone who has latex will have pdflatex also,
but I think this should be fixed anyway: if latex is not found, sage-check
exits gracefully, but in the unlikely event that latex is found but
pdflatex isn't, then I get
{{{
Running the test suite.
./spkg-check: line 10: pdflatex: command not found
Error typesetting example.tex! To fully test SageTeX, make sure
LaTeX can find sagetex.sty, and that TikZ (version 2.00
or newer), tkz-berge.sty and tkz-graph.sty is installed.

Can we run latex instead of pdflatex? Otherwise, change "which latex" to
"which pdflatex", and maybe change the error message from "LaTeX isn't
installed" to "PDFLaTeX isn't installed"?
Also, something is wrong with the shell script on Solaris but I don't know
what. If I log into t2.math.washington.edu and try installing with
SAGE_CHECK equal to 1, then I get the bad error message even though latex
is not found. Maybe this is because on many systems, 'which latex'
produces nothing if latex isn't found, but on t2, 'which latex' does this:
$ which latex
no latex in /usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/bin /usr/local/bin2 /usr/bin
/usr/ccs/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/sfw/bin /bin /usr/sbin
