The main philosophical issue with this is that "make" is a build-time
tool, and that "sage" is the thing that "make" builds. Even ignoring
the chicken-and-egg problem, we often don't want users to be able to
invoke build processes at runtime, after (say) sage has been installed
on a distribution. Hiding the Makefile from them is easy enough, but
hiding "sage" would elicit a few complaints.
