"make uninstall" was the first thing I tried - but there's no such target in 
the Makefile nor anything obvious to have the same effect. So I've gone 
ahead and hunted 'em down manually - not a bit task, but a surprise that it 
was necessary.

Maybe one for the developers - do any of them see this list?
