Comment:

 Here is version 3 of the patch.  This implements Leif's idea about
 ./sage/.sagerc, in a simple-minded way.  It also checks for the
 environment variable `SAGE_SHPROMPT`.

 My opinion is that the prompt for the Sage shell should indicate '''very
 clearly''' that this is a Sage shell, so the default in this patch is for
 it to start with "(sage-sh)" in reverse video.  If you don't like it, you
 can override it by setting `PS1` in .sagerc or by setting `SAGE_SHPROMPT`
 anywhere.

 This also doesn't print any warning message or even set the prompt if
 `sage -sh` is followed by more arguments.  I'm not sure I'm happy about
 that, in particular the potential lack of a different prompt.
