[X ] Make it standard at some point in the "near" future. Argument: Sage includes many interfaces to standard software. This includes software that the majority users will never use in their lifetimes, e.g. the big M's (unless at a mathematics department or institute where there exists a license) and numerous open source software libraries and systems. Emacs is a standard open source tool, and an interface (albeit from emacs to sage) seems reasonable. I also thought that this was "standard" in the sense that it was one file which one could find (like sagetex.sty) in the sage distribution. I would like to find it there if I need to update my system.
