[opam-devel] opam does not uninstall menhir properly

[Anil Madhavapeddy]

Thanks -- the uninstall can be fixed in the already-released versions (by adding the `rm` lines into the `remove` field in the `opam` file), and ideally the upstream would fix the actual Makefile problem.  I'm CCing the author, Francois Pottier to this mail.
