Comment (by jhpalmieri):
I think I agree with Leif that the old variables should still be
documented. I can imagine a user finding out about them by searching
through sage-devel, for example, and then wondering why they're not
documented or whether they were removed. Maybe a sentence or two: "the
following variables have been deprecated, as of Sage 5.3. Instead of
SAGE_FORTRAN, use FC, and instead of SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB, ..." Users
shouldn't have to find out this sort of thing by reading warning messages.
After a few releases, we could also make the deprecation more obvious, by
making the user hit RET to continue building after we print the warning
message.
