Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 On one hand, there is something attractive about building and installing
 Sage by running (perhaps) "configure", then "make", then "make install".
 However, this would require some work, and also a potential change of
 behavior for most Sage developers.  This sounds like a possibility, but a
 long-term one.  I don't see it happening any time soon, anyway.  Jeroen's
 suggestion here, on the other hand, is a quick solution for a problem with
 Sage now.  I suggest we merge this now (once the typos are fixed, along
 with any other simple fixes), and consider a longer term solution
 separately.

 I wouldn't object if this were implemented by adding a new target in the
 Makefile, but I think it should be run by default to address the issues
 Jeroen has raised here.  I also wouldn't object if it were implemented as
 in the current patch, perhaps with a followup ticket to make it a separate
 target for make.
