Comment(by leif):
Sourcing {{{sage-env}}} in the Makefile is only needed to set up
{{{SAGE_ROOT}}} for {{{sage-starts}}}, which calls a Python script
({{{sage-location}}}).
The other Sage scripts source {{{sage-env}}} themselves.
As said before, best would be to change {{{sage-starts}}} (and the
Makefile) on another ticket; replacing {{{source}}} by {{{.}}} could be
done at #9960 I think.
An even nicer solution would just "source" {{{sage-env}}} from the
''Python'' script (by invoking a shell that does this and echoes the
necessary variables), also removing {{{. sage-env &&}}} from the Makefile.
You can hardly touch a piece of Sage without experiencing other things to
fix... ;-)
