Right now the build process is run by a Python script that calls a shell
script that calls a Python script that mostly just runs shell commands and
also a shell script that calls a Perl script.
Understanding what's going on is about as easy as understanding that
sentence. It's crazy. The proposed solution here is two easy-to-understand
Python files. If we upgrade ATLAS, it will be easy to remove the
unnecessary bits. And since the files only require Python 2.3 (I think),
and there's no problem demanding Python as a build dependency for Sage, so
with a little extra work, we can get the ATLAS building very early in the
process.
