Neither does any other software. If you move an installed program then it 
won't work any more, and we shouldn't go around teaching users otherwise.  

For binary distributions we should make all paths relative until it is 
installed (so if you compile new stuff it won't be relocatable any more). 
Failing that, we could replace the sage starter script with a special 
script that updates paths once before copying the old sage script back.
