It's a crappy solution, but if you re-ran the `make install`, it should 
show you a list of where exactly it vomited files on your system. You 
could use that as a starting list for things to purge.

Come to that, the real hate then would be toolkits that can't sort this 
out for you automatically: if the installer adds X, Y, and Z, it should 
at least preserve a log of that somewhere so that, if it can't provide a 
tool to remove X, Y, and Z for you, you can at least do so manually.
