OK. So then I won't worry about "--purge" not working here. I guess I'll just dig into the installation scripts and try to figure out what they created, so I can get rid of it all manually. I don't suppose there are any tools that aid in doing this, aside from the standard Unix text-processing utilties. As I learn more about the structure of these packages, maybe I'll write such a tool.
