 > Wow, this seems like it is really turning into a mess.  Maybe we should
 just pretend to install in the normal place (the site-packages directory)
 and then move that directory to the SAGE_DEVEL directory and create a
 relative symlink from site-packages/sagenb... to SAGE_DEVEL/sagenb
 ourselves?

 As said on the IRC, I don't think this works with (at least our current)
 unpatched setuptools; these expand symbolic links such that if I create
 {{{
 local/lib/python/site-packages/sagenb -> ../../../../devel/sagenb
 }}}
 and add `./sagenb` to `easy-install.pth`, installing different spkgs using
 setuptools again replaces this by an absolute path.
