Comment (by Snark):
1. the .sagerc trick depends on setting PATH, but my point is precisely
that spkg/bin/sage doesn't use PATH, but instead points directly to where
it insists things must be (one of my dirty definitely-not-for-upstream
patch was precisely modifying sage-env to set PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
the rest...) ;
2. "test -x" is nice when you know exactly where things must be ; but if
they can be in another place, then that doesn't fly. "command -v" is
portable and will find things in PATH.
