You could write a program to do this, if you wanted to experiment
with it.  You would run `make -n uninstall' and set the variables
NORMAL_UNINSTALL, PRE_UNINSTALL, and POST_UNINSTALL to magic strings
so that you can determine command boundaries.  This would work for a
lot of packages, but not all of them, since most custom uninstall
targets (if they exist, an already doubtful proposition) probably
don't use these correctly.  See the GNU Coding Standards for more
info.
