Still, running `sage` (especially the full bunch of shell scripts) there
is quite dangerous, as almost everything can happen. Worse, there's no
''"DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS"''*, and error messages aren't even logged.
Better write some `install` target (and / or a `sage-first_time` script),
and update the Sage Installation Guide, especially with respect to files
that are created upon first start-up, hardcoded path etc. etc.
IMHO we should in general do certain things ''upon installing Sage'' (some
actually ''during'' the build), rather than checking them and doing them
''for the first time'' when someone tries to start Sage.

* This message is btw. printed too late, as `install_moved()` already does
some stuff before the script (eventually!) gets to this.

P.S.: No serious sysadmin builds in, say, `/usr/local/`, or leaves an
"installation" in `/tmp/`.
