I am confused. Do you say that FOO is defined regardless whether the 
optional package foo is installed or not? Where does it come from? Perhaps 
from running ./configure in SAGE_ROOT, which checks the content of 
build/pkgs/?

And why is there such an indirection? If the dependency is called foo, 
shouldn't it be possible to name it foo rather than FOO?

And why does it need to be *manually* decorated with $(INST)/? Shouldn't it 
be enough to give a list of unmodified package names, optionally modified 
by prescribing a range of acceptable version numbers?

Thus, why "$(INST)/MEATAXE $(INST)/DATABASE_GAP" rather than "meataxe 
database_gap"?

By the way, concerning docs: Building the docs has never been a very 
pleasant experience for me, but it became a nightmare recently. It takes 
more ages on my laptop, because of swapping. And that used not to happen in 
the not so distant past.

Cheers,
Simon
