Hi,

A long, long time ago I wrote this sage-location script, which is
meant to be run when you move Sage.  It hacks around certain
hard-coded paths, and of course isn't the optimal solution to
anything.  But it tends to work.  It's 100% designed for binary
distribution of Sage.

In practice I personally *never* ever move -- I build it in place and
that's it.  However, I very frequently see the following with Sage
installs that have never once moved from their original home:

    Forcing sage-location, probably because a new package was installed.
    Updating various hardcoded paths...
    (Please wait at most a few minutes.)
    DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS.

This is a somewhat disturbing waste of time, right?
