Changes (by jdemeyer):

  * status:  needs_review => needs_work


Comment:

 As for implementation: the second variable (call it `SAGE_CHECK_PACKAGES`
 or something) should change the environment variable `SAGE_CHECK`
 accordingly, before running `spkg-install`.  The new GCC spkg uses
 `SAGE_CHECK` in its `spkg-install` and it makes sense to allow that.

 Example:
 {{{
 SAGE_CHECK_PACKAGES="!python,mpir,mpfr"
 }}}
 would '''always''' check mpir and mpfr, regardless of `SAGE_CHECK` but
 would '''never''' check python, regardless of `SAGE_CHECK`.

 The default should be
 {{{
 SAGE_CHECK_PACKAGES="!python"
 }}}
