We need an uninstall script for user convenience. I'm not sure an uninstall script is practical -- we can't just delete the files with the same names as those we installed, because we don't know whether they're the same ones (or something added later by the user). I've never understood why any user would say "make install" at all -- Emacs works just fine without saying "make install". Users should just run it from where it was compiled. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
