I totally understand -- no reason to have code that figures out which OS 
you're on if you make OS-dependent distribution packages (CDs or whatever)

Good to know

Exactly what I did.  The Makefile gen'd me an uninstall, too, or I wouldn't 
have made the effort.  I had a few minor changes to make in the setupdb/ and 
setup/ trees, but they may not be important enough for checking in.  I'll 
drop them on bugzilla and let others decide.
