what would be the best way to do an uninstaller, as my application has

Oh boy. Uninstallers. Good topic. Beats me why Mac OS X doesn't
provide that functionality, given that they do take the effort to
store a log (in /Library/Receipts/) of everything that was installed
using the default .pkg way....

The Receipts is no use to handle the uninstallation "problem".

Receipts are missing important information such as retain count.

Receipts does not handle user deleting files manually.

Receipts does not handle user moving or renaming files.
