    And what do you do with the uninstall script ? Is there any
standard place to store it, under what name?

    Currently, if you install hopman, you can get rid of the source.
Then, if you need to remove it, just download the source again, unpack
it and run 'make uninstall'. Having an uninstall script (actually a
makefile) is not a bad idea. We just need a standard place to put it. Ideas?
