… That uninstallation script should just go away, I wonder if we
could have a built-in uninstall app instead.

One problem is that the prefpane is still loaded in System Preferences
after the user uninstalls it. So the prefpane is still loaded, still
visible, and now broken (clicking on stuff will probably throw
exceptions).

Much better to have the uninstaller in a separate app.

Also, I have never seen a program in Mac OS X offer a button to uninstall it within the program or its configuration. I think including such a thing is pretty pessimistic :)
