Re: Add uninstall target to Makefile

Sorry, I absolutely detest other peoples' Makefiles that has
this target.  Why would anybody want this?

Is this a serious question?  To uninstall the binaries e.g. if you
installed them in the wrong place?

Of course package manager will do better at this, but it is useful to be
able to uninstall.  However, I don't think Martin's external script with
all the filenames hardcoded is the right approach.  There are $(PROG)
and $(SCRIPTS) which already know all these filenames.
