New description:
The current system of `spkg/install` setting '''environment variables'''
like `$TERMCAP` with the version numbers of the various packages is quite
bad.
In this ticket, I change `spkg/install` to create a file `spkg/Makefile`
(which includes `spkg/standard/deps`) which is used as makefile instead of
`spkg/standard/deps`. Instead of using environment variables for the
versions, I simply use make variables.
The shell script `newest_version` is also removed in favor of a shell
function in `spkg/install`. It gracefully handles non-existing packages.
Previously a non-existing package will not signal ''any'' error or
warning.
'''Apply''':
1. [attachment:10492_deps_to_Makefile.patch] to `SAGE_ROOT`
2. [attachment:10492_no_more_newest_version.patch] to SCRIPTS.
See also #12609: fixing the developer manual to take into account the
changes on this ticket.
