there a good way to let them know that they should probably run Sage once
to initialize various files, or should we just hope that they've read
enough of README.txt or the installation guide?

will also be printed when doing a simple `make` and might confuse users.
So I would rather ''not'' print anything and assume that users who know
about `make build` also know what they are doing.
{{{
#!make
ifeq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),build)
RUN_SAGE_REMINDER = echo "Make sure to run Sage once before ..."
endif
...
build: ...
...
$(RUN_SAGE_REMINDER)
}}}

IMHO this ticket still needs work.
First of all, `doc` should also depend on `start`[sic], to avoid
attempting to run both at the same time.
Second, the output of `sage-starts` still isn't logged, which is important
for error reports at least.
