Public bug reported:
on Windows, the uninstallation routine seems to be deleting the whole
GNUSim8085 directory, regardless of it containing changes to any files
or even completely new files.
This is a highly critical bug, as people could possibly use their source
code/modifications this way.
The right thing to do here would be asking the user if s/he wants to
retain modified/new files, and to refrain from deleting directories that
contain modifications or new files.
This is the standard procedure used by other Windows installers.
