> I think there is no `uninstall` command included usually because most packages that are installed using `make install` are system libraries that other packages depend upon. And so just uninstalling that one package could result in a broken system. There may be some other historical reason, but that's my guess.

That's a good point, there is no dependency resolution at this low-level; and with that in mind, there's probably a good way to uninstall things by hand, if you really wanted to.. thanks for the thought.
