make uninstall

Trouble is authors do not always define make uninstall, and even if they do 
you have to keep the directory you used to compile the application for when 
you might want to uninstall.

My preferred solution is to use 'checkinstall' to convert the compiled code 
into an RPM which can easily be uninstalled at a future date.
Checkinstall is on the CDs (or is it in contrib)
