Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:4 leif]:
 > I'd replace ''"not every Sage package recognizes this"'' by ''"not every
 Sage package recognizes this '''yet'''"''.
 I don't like that, because it sounds too much like a promise.  If in 2
 years, still not all packages support `$CC`, it will look ridiculous. The
 current sentence is simply an informative statement of fact.

 > I'd also keep the `SAGE_FORTRAN` and `SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB` entries for now,
 just stating that these are deprecated (or, more precisely, obsolete), and
 shouldn't be used anymore (with a reference to `FC` and `FCFLAGS`).
 If they shouldn't be used anymore, what's the point?

 > Not directly related to this ticket, but `CPP` and `CPPFLAGS` should
 IMHO be mentioned as well.
 I think we should only mention the most important ones, namely CFLAGS,
 CXXFLAGS and FCFLAGS. Otherwise, there is an essentially endless list of
 environment variables...
