[X] Make it standard at some point in the "near" future

Mainly because I think everybody should use emacs as their operating 
system. it will save their time and the money they spend on buying fancey 
computers. Also Nicolas is very cool so I wanted to support his point ;)

That's said, I found couple of bugs in it when I use it with emacs 24, for 
example you can only run sage-build from a window with inferior-sage-mode 
(subproblem of what we discussed before probably you need to add that hook 
thingi to the sage-build as well), also autocomplete and keyword?? take 
ages to work. It also hijacks python files no matter if there's a python 
interpretor open or not (I wrote a fix for this one). Though, it's unstable 
emacs 24. But if by the time it gets released, sage-mode is not standard, 
it's less probable that somebody cares about these bugs as Benjamin said.
