------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Right now, setting SAGE_CHECK to any nonempty string (e.g., "no") runs the
 test suite.  The documentation actually says that SAGE_CHECK should be
 "yes" for this to happen.  Fix this.

 While we're at it, fix something else: in the script SAGE_ROOT/local/bin
 /sage-env, SAGE64 is required to be "yes", "no", or unset:
 {{{
 if [ "$SAGE64" != "yes" -a "$SAGE64" != "no" ]; then
     echo "The environment variable SAGE64 (=$SAGE64) must be either unset,
 yes or no."
     exit 1
 fi
 }}}
 The problem is, whenever sage-env is run, output is redirected to
 /dev/null, so this error message isn't printed.  So for example:
 {{{
 $ export SAGE64='maybe'
 $ sage
 $
 }}}
 Sage fails to run and is completely silent as to why.  Fix this, too.
