Re: `make uninstall' is not documented in the `INSTALL' files

Hi Roberto,

    I tried hard to find a list for which the present message is not
    off-topic:

Thanks for trying.

    address@hidden is the best option came up with.

A pretty good guess :).

    I wonder why this omission.  

Despite the coding standards, there are a lot of projects make uninstall
doesn't work for.  Still, it seems it wouldn't hurt to mention it, with
appropriate caveats.

    I realize I should ask this question to the maintainer of the
    INSTALL file, but who is he/she?

As far as I know, the INSTALL file is maintained as part of Automake,
although this is not stated anywhere in the file.  I don't know if there
is a Texinfo source for it any more.

Ralf, I know you're on this list.  Can you advise?

Best,
Karl
