One thing to note about uninstall in a makefile, is that it's typically
designed to uninstall the same version it's also installing. Thus if
file names change, or are removed from the current source, they can
still be missed by the makefile in the uninstall process.
Since removal of previous versions appears to be fairly critical to a
successful install of e from source, it might make sense to have the
uninstall script probe for and verify the installed e version (and also
allow the version as a param) and use a manifest file of the form
e-manifest-<version> (or whatever) that lists all of the locations and
files that get installed for that version. This manifest would be
generated by the install target.
Mind you, I've not looked at the {un}install targets, so it's possible
this is already being done.
