Or alternatively convince the automake people that it shouldn't be in
the business of software lifecycle management (make uninstall) any
more than people should be coding/overriding build systems (make;make
install) inside RPM spec files.
...and once you've done that, you can convince them that building
rpm/apt/whatever on, say, AIX, should be a prerequisite before building
grep/make/etc? Wait... somehow I'm not too sure that will work well.
+1 to fixing it for systems with sane package managers. -1 to removing
functionality that may be wanted on more exotic systems.
