New description:

 One of the patches at #9960 did a lot of clean-up to the file `sage-spkg`:
 quoting environment variables, replacing tabs with spaces, etc., also
 adding comments and TODOs.  Since those changes were not related to the
 issue at #9960, I've split them off and put them here instead.  The main
 change of any content is to look at the file `SPKG.txt` rather than
 `SAGE.txt` when the "`-info`" flag is passed so `sage-spkg` (through `sage
 -info ...`). Also, warnings and error messages are now redirected to
 `stderr`.

 Apparently support for `sage -info ...` was removed at some point (or
 never existed); the patch to `sage-sage` fixes that.

 The patch to `sage-env` fixes a bug caused or enabled by #10469, which
 through the patch to `sage-spkg` now becomes more visible and potentially
 worse.

 Apply
  1. [attachment:trac_11021-sage-spkg-
 cleanup-v2-rebased_to_4.7.1.alpha4.patch]
  1. [attachment:trac_11021-support_and_document_sage_-info_in_sage-
 sage.scripts.patch]
  1. [attachment:trac_11021-export_BUILD_in_sage-env.scripts.patch]
 to the '''scripts repo'''.

Comment:

 The other two patches I've attached fix issues that came up while testing
 the patch to `sage-spkg` with Sage 4.7.1.alpha4.

 They're both necessary to make `sage -info ...` as well as `sage-spkg` in
 general (with the changes made by the other patch) work.

 Cf. http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10469#comment:24.

 Please review!
