I am very much against this. The normal way to rebuild is to use "make", while "./sage -b" should only be used if you know what you're doing.

I have seen several bug reports which were just people forgetting to run "make". So my impression is that we need to advertise "./sage -b" less, not more.

I agree with Simon that the docs are annoying. However, I usually run "make" in a different shell window. I can already run and test Sage while the documentation is still building.
