Old description:
> The top-level Sage script doesn't check the value of `SAGE_ROOT` if it
> was set from the outside. Example:
> {{{
> $ SAGE_ROOT=does_not_exist ./sage
> ./sage: line 118: cd: does_not_exist: No such file or directory
> ./sage: line 122: /spkg/bin/sage: No such file or directory

New description:
The top-level Sage script doesn't check the value of `SAGE_ROOT` if it was
set from the outside. Example:
{{{
$ SAGE_ROOT=does_not_exist ./sage
./sage: line 118: cd: does_not_exist: No such file or directory
./sage: line 122: /spkg/bin/sage: No such file or directory
}}}
After:
{{{
$ SAGE_ROOT=does_not_exist ./sage
./sage: line 118: cd: does_not_exist: No such file or directory
./sage: cannot determine SAGE_ROOT directory
}}}
The new top-level script can now also be used together with sage-4.x:
{{{
$ SAGE_ROOT=/usr/local/src/sage-4.8.alpha6
/usr/local/src/sage-5.0.beta1/sage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.8.alpha6, Release Date: 2012-01-01 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. |
