Hello,

There are various issues with the canonicalization (i.e. resolving
symbolic links and making the path absolute) of $SAGE_ROOT.  First of
all, canonicalization is only done in $SAGE_ROOT/sage and not (properly)
in sage-env.  Second, the result is highly system-dependent, depending
on the availability of `readlink` and `realpath`.  Instead, I propose a
bash-script to do the canonicalization in a proper and
system-independent way.

See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5852


Jeroen.
