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. That's a nice tutorial.

For instance, use /bin/rm instead of just rm - Since the script will be executed with administration privileges, there's always the issue that someone can change the script to do bad things.
