Most 3rd party packages install themselves into a specific directory,
so it's pretty easy to remove them by removing the directory
However, there are those that don't - in which case you have to hunt
thru' the system for where they've installed themselves (usually just
within the /usr/local subtree).
That's why it's so much easier to use the ports system - the files
have already be located..
