'''Upgrade path for testing the fixes:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/dist/sage-4.6.upgradetest_alpha1/'''
On MacOS X, one should at the moment either do an "in-place" upgrade
(without renaming the directory / copying the original installation) or
follow the instructions given in comments below (regarding
{{{LDSHARED}}}).
