Uninstaller for Mac OSX Application

[Chad Armstrong]

I agree with others' comments, that whenever possible, avoid using an  
installer.  However, there are cases when an application needs to  
place a number of items in a variety of locations, and requiring the  
user to manually move each of the files to their required spot seems  
like unnecessary work, and this is a good situation where an  
installer is useful.

But it definitely does seem like a glaring hole that an uninstaller  
wasn't also included.  Is it possible to use Apple's installer  
program to create a script which will just uninstall the application?

 From what I've read, it appears that an uninstaller can look in the  
Receipts folder and read the list of files that were installed for a  
particular application, and then use that list of files to search out  
the files to erase.  Has anyone tried this?

Otherwise, installing applications that don't also include an  
uninstaller makes me suspicious and weary.
