Comment:

 Copying files between root and scripts repositories is horrible. We can't
 make relative symlinks from `$SAGE_LOCAL` to `$SAGE_ROOT` since they might
 be unrelated directories. I think the best solution is to have small shell
 scripts in the scripts repository that call the script in the sage root
 repository. It seems that this is only `sage-env` and the `testcc.sh`,
 `testcxx.sh` scripts.

 Patch instructions:

 1) remove everything but the tar archives from spkg/base
 {{{
 cd $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/base
 rm -rf .hg *-install README.txt sage-* test*sh stdint.h_Solaris9
 }}}

 2) apply trac_11073_remove_base_repo.patch to the root repo

 3) apply trac_11073_stop_copying_stuff.patch to the root repo

 4) apply trac_11073_stubs_for_base.patch to the scripts repo

 Some notes about files formerly in the spkg/base repository:
   * `stdint.h_Solaris9`: deleted
   * `sage-spkg`: deleted from sage_scripts, should live in sage_root only.
   * `sage-env`: replaced by stub in sage_scripts.
   * `testcc.sh`, `testcxx.sh`: replaced by stub in sage_scripts
   * `sage-make_relative`: was a Python script, but base doesn't have
 Python yet ?!?. Deleted.
