I thought that make uninstall works only if the developers wrote an uninstall script, which, in this case, they did not.
This is understandable-- who would want ever to /UNINSTALL/ Lyx?

I don't think so-- where are they?  However, I SHOULD be able to uninstall a

uninstall script, I shall have to remove the relevant files by hand, something 
I would like to avoid.
I never tried to build LyX from source directory. So I don't know if the target 
"uninstall" works there.
I'm building LyX inside a parallel build directory. There the "uninstall" 
target works for me.
I've checked it with current 2.0.5 branch and 2.1.0 head version.
"make uninstall" should work inanycase. If it does not, there a bug.
