Oh, I see, sorry.  If there is demand for it, it seems perfectly
reasonable to provide a module that implements
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Can_I_do_.22make_uninstall.22_with_CMake.3F
(this is what kdelibs4 did).  Note that the effect is identical to
passing the contents of install_manifest.txt to rm.

What would be nice would be to also provide a way to execute arbitrary
commands on uninstall, similar to install(CODE).
