Well, I have a number of problems in mind: it's not necessarily so simple if 
you're mixing installs from different versions or if you don't have the 
original repository around.  Obviously, recreating the original repository is 
always doable and ought to work.  But it seemed worth mentioning in case one 
of these was tripping things up.

The other problem wrt uninstalls is that I'm not sure the binary tarball has 
an uninstall option (?) because it omits the makefile.  If that's the case 
then that is probably something that does merit a patch.

Cheers,
Mark
