Yes, I agree with you.

We should change the value of the PS1 variable as virtualenv does:
prefixing it with the name of the virtualenv between parenthesis.

Something like this would be nice:

[humitos] [~/sugar]$ PS1=(sugar)$PS1
(sugar)[humitos] [~/sugar]$

Besides, we should save the old PS1 to be able to restore it when the
user closes the "sugar" session.
