There's an freeware or shareware which is doing this and that can be
found on versiontracker. AFAIK, this software is working with the
receipts.
One solution includes writing a script to uninstall your stuff and wrap
this script inside a GUI application which might be asking for an admin
password and launch the script via the Authorization APIs.

I have successfully used "Package Maker" to make an installer for my
software. However, I haven't seen any standard for making
uninstallers.
My software places pieces inside "/Library/Application Support" and
"/Library/StartupItems" in addition to the standard "/Applications"
folder. If a user were to move our apps located in "/Applications" to
the trash, they would only be deleting a small portion of our > software.
Is there a standard tool for making uninstallers? Where would I put
the uninstaller during the install so the user finds it? Since the
user needs root access to do some of our install, they would need root
access to delete parts of it as well.
I haven't seen any uninstallers for even Apple software. Other than
copying the apps located in "/Applications" to the trash, how do you
uninstall them?
