What I said was 'an "uninstall" command', which has nothing to do with
building packages or installers for other systems (such as RPM). I'm
talking about being able to do

  python setup.py install

and then later

  python setup.py uninstall

Assuming that the same script was used for installation, it seems that
Thomas's command (which he refers to as a hack ;) works quite
nicely... But I guess it might not be robust enough.
