I read that thread, but don't see its relevance. Have I missed something?
In summary:
"uninstall" is not useful in lieu of a package manager, but for developer
types (like those on this mailing list) it is useful when you install in the
wrong place (as I did just before I felt the need for an uninstall recipe).
The thread you linked to seemed to want the uninstall to not have hard-coded
filenames. That's what I did.
I assume I've missed something in the linked thread - what was it you wanted
me to pick up from it?
