Sage supports only one version of open source and free optional sage
packages, since users can obtain easily that version freely and this one is
declared officially in the file /build/pkgs/maxima/package-version.txt for
example. For external packages that are not free like mathematica, it not
so easy to ask the user to upgrade to the most recent or to the one is used
by Sage. So, we have to make a choice. Either we try to support all
mathematica versions. Or, we support only one. But if we chose to support
one version. Then it should be declared that the interface is for
mathematica v9.0 for instance maybe in some package-version.txt file. And
if I have mathematica v 10.0 on my machine, then "make ptestlong" should
not run the mathematica optional since the version do not match. But if I
have the good version, then, why not "make ptestlong" run those tests?
