So still needs work? ;-) Funny I never noticed the ''enviroment[sic]''s.
Looks better, though I still don't like messing around with `SAGE64` and
the flag file at all on systems that don't use / require it. I personally
would make a distinction on the OS and, to not annoy some developers,
`SAGE_PORT` (i.e., only take care of `SAGE64` on MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5,
Solaris and !OpenSolaris, or if `SAGE_PORT` is non-empty. Allowing
`SAGE64=ignore` would be another option, perhaps automatically setting
this on other platforms.)
Does the Sage Installation Guide mention how to "cure" an installation
which erroneously defaults to `SAGE64=no` because the user forgot to set
it in the first place?
[Want to get rid of this ticket, so positive review. I assume Dave
agrees.]
