Comment(by Stefan):

 I assume that, when this script gets executed, we're within an environment
 like the "sage -sh" shell? Then the $SAGE_ROOT/local/bin directory is in
 the path before any of the system directories, so it will ALWAYS come back
 with the Sage version of the tools, UNLESS Sage doesn't have them. In the
 latter case, there's no need to make a shortcut; in the former, a shortcut
 will ALWAYS be made. I see no way of finding a system install
 separately...

 Hence the suggestion to force an install would not change things; I'll
 modify the docstring to reflect this.
