Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 Some random comments:

  1. If we keep `SAGE_TESTDIR` as a subdirectory of `DOT_SAGE`, we should
 call it `DOT_SAGE/testing/` instead of `DOT_SAGE/tmp/`.  This describes
 the directory better, and the directory can contain timing files, for
 example, which are intended to persist, not be temporary.

  2. Note that the script `sage-test` creates `SAGE_TESTDIR` as
 `DOT_SAGE/tmp`, and then creates a further subdirectory `tmp` of this.  I
 don't think there is any reason for this subdirectory to exist.

  3. Note also `sage-maketest` which writes files to `SAGE_TESTDIR`.  (It
 also has a different default setting for this variable.)  This script may
 not require any modification, but it's another one to keep an eye on.
