By the current uninstall rule,
the following command is run in the ${infodir}
directory:
$ rm -f cl* ada-mode*
autotype* calc* ccmode* ebrowse* efaq* eintr elisp*
eshell* eudc* idlwave* message* pcl-cvs* reftex*
speedbar* tramp* widget* woman* dired-x* ediff* emacs*
emacs-xtra* flymake* forms* gnus* info* mh-e*
newsticker* org* sc* ses* vip* smtpmail* url* rcirc*
erc*
Now if another package, say the clisp project, happens
to also offer info pages, those pages can be ruined by
this command.
Imagine that Clisp offers clisp.info, installed in
${infodir}. It matches cl*, and is thus removed by
make uninstall.
