Hmmm.. We have the same problem for LP solvers, and no good solution. We 
have a way to 'force' the choice of the implementation manually, and we use 
it to:

- Check that the normal doctests pass when the standard algorithm is used

- Check that [the doctests relying on the optional package] pass when the 
optional algorithm is forced

Or even better: Can I make the documentation of a Python module 
> such as sage.matrix.matrix_space depend on an optional package? 


No idea :-/
