Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 Regarding the files sage-env, sage-make_relative, and sage-spkg: these are
 currently in the scripts repo (and it makes a lot of sense for them to be
 there), but they get used in the Sage build process right from the start.
 (There have been complaints about the role of sage-make_relative, and
 those might have some validity to them, but this is not the ticket to deal
 with that.)  Right now, the script sage-sdist copies them from the scripts
 repo to the base directory so they're in the right place in a new source
 distribution.  One of the first things that spkg/install does is to copy
 them back to local/bin/ so they're in the right place to be executed.

 So: what should be done with these?  Move them to root repo and put links
 to them in local/bin?  That seems to make a lot of sense, but it doesn't
 feel right for some reason.  Any other ideas?
