No Alex, it is not a feature, it is a bug. The `uninstall` target is a 
perfectly reasonable function of any build system using autoconf and you 
would have got one for free if automake had been adopted. It would have also 
reduced the likelyhood of the following bug:

... which has been reported before on more than one occasion. Telling a user 
to `apt-get install <foo>` is NOT a bug fix and smacks of nepotism.

But hey, JMK has rejected automake/libtool support in favour of a 
sick'n'twisted build system that is fragile and aimed squarely at ubuntoo 
installs.
