Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 Dave: in the base repository, can you explain what the files
 stdint.h_Solaris9, testcc.sh, and testcxx.sh are for?  I know what the
 last two do, but are they actually used anywhere?  I can't find any
 reference to them in SAGE_ROOT/local/bin or SAGE_ROOT/spkg.  Are they
 called by various spkg-install files?

 Right now, testcc.sh and testcxx.sh are copied (by the file spkg/install)
 to SAGE_ROOT/local/bin. If we're doing away with the base repository,
 should they be tracked in the Sage root repository or the scripts
 repository?  Since they're scripts which might be useful in general, the
 scripts repo might make sense.  But if they're only used in the
 installation process -- I don't know where they're used -- maybe the root
 repo makes sense.  Any opinions?
