easy uninstaller solution

Hi Everyone-  I just posted a really great (I think) uninstaller
solution on my blog I think people here may find useful.  Basically,
you just perform your entire uninstall in a bash script that's called
from an AppleScript application bundle (so the user can double click
it).  Once you've got the application bundle set up, you just need to
update and maintain the bash script and never worry about building the
bundle or editing the AppleScript (a bit of a pain) again since the
AppleScript will always just call whatever's in your bash file.

The post is here:

Any feedback in the comments is most welcome.  There may very well be
a better way of doing this I'm unaware of.

-Adam
