FEATURE REQUEST: make uninstall should delete empty directories.

Greetings.


When performing a "make uninstall", I notice that it only deletes the files, not the empty directories. It would be nice that after removing a file, it removes all the empty directories recursively. For example:

/usr/share/aproject/asubdir/againanother/binary

Assuming that againanother/ is empty after binary is deleted, it should be removed too. If asubdir/ is empty after againanother/ is deleted, it too should be removed, and so on.


Best regards,
Hans Deragon
