How about this: the app that wants to delete itself contains a function
that deletes all the databases it has created, along with any
preferences, then deletes its own program database, then calls
SysReset().
When it wants to actually do the deed, it uses MemPtrNew() to allocate
enough memory to hold said function, then copys that function's code
into the newly allocated memory, then jumps to it. The SysReset() will
reclaim the memory that was allocated by MemPtrNew(), and thus the app
will be gone without a trace.
