>>Ahem, that's "a builit-in uninstall", not "AI built-in uninstall"<<

But AI is not completely off the mark. I thought you were alluding to the
general difficulty of doing an uninstall. I've seen two different solutions
to the problem of figuring out what was installed in the first place, and
neither seems perfect. E.g., one solution re-runs the install script to see
what changes were made, but this presumes that a re-install does exact what
the original install did. Seems like the use of install log file to
deinstall (and prevent re-installs without a deinstall first) is the best
way to go, but this doesn't seem to be the distutils way to do things...
