We haven't prepared such a make target.

It's an interesting idea, and if there isn't a compelling reason *not*
to do so, perhaps we should consider doing so.  I observe that
PostgreSQL does have a "make uninstall" once you head to its src
directory, so there's certainly a precedent to consider following.

The relevant bits of postgresql src/Makefile
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
uninstall: uninstall-local

uninstall-local:
        rm -f $(addprefix '$(DESTDIR)$(pgxsdir)/$(subdir)'/,
Makefile.global Makefile.port Makefile.shlib nls-global.mk)
