New description:
With the attached patch, if you set `SAGE_CHECK='!python!cvxopt'` and then
build Sage, it will run self-tests for all packages except python and
cvxopt. This sort of behavior can be useful with the current situation, in
which python always fails self-tests (as far as I know), and a package
like cvxopt fails them on OS X Lion. So when I'm testing Sage with Lion,
I could use `'!python!cvxopt'` and easily run self-tests on all of the
other packages. This should be viewed as merely a convenience — I hope
that people straighten out Python's test suite in general and cvxopt on
Lion — but it might be a useful option.
