After doing `make` the Makefile should contain the data on which items will be installed where during `make install`. (if i understand correctly). If autoconf/automake incorporate a routine to: At the tail end of `make` - extract the file names and paths from the Makefile to a "file_list.dat" within the source tree. The textfile in turn could be copied to somewhere on the system during `make install` (to a location specified during `configure`). this "file_list.dat" can be used later by another (new) automake routine to remove files from the system.
