Actually, the bug is that there's no uninstall script, rather than that
the "make uninstall" removes the wrong stuff... The uninstall script
should be generated by the install script to "remove exactly the files
installed and nothing else". This is the REAL bug. Then we could use
this install script to do "make uninstall" too.
