This points to the core problem: we simply have no way to guess whether
people want to do that or not.

Here is a possible compromise proposal:
* keep default optional package as they are now
* add a new flag --optional=external (or change --optional=all to do
this) to test all auto-detected-but-not-part-of-Sage packages like
mathematica.
* add a corresponding Makefile target running tests with this flag.


Here is another idea : don't put the interface to the external package in sage-the-library, but in an optional package.

That way, doctests are only run for people who care. That, and it would be possible to have an optional package for foo17 and another for foo21... hence supporting incompatible versions.
