laziness is a virtue in this case ;-).  of course if the mac doesn't 
provide an uninstall you might want to think about it first.  if you 
build it yourself, and if the "uninstall" target works, then you can 
remove it easily, whereas with a package manager if there is no "remove" 
or "erase" or whatever, then you have to manually remove it, which may 
not be easy (thanks apple!).

adam: is there any equivalent of rpm -U for mac, i.e. any clean way to 
upgrade?
