asterisk users - Jul 2006 - Uninstalling Asterisk? No make uninstall?

There does not seem to be any "make uninstall" for Asterisk 1.2.9.1
and
Zaptel 1.2.6... 

I tried to apply an uninstall patch but got many Hunk errors from both
1.2.9.1 and latest SVN:
http://bugs.digium.com/file_download.php?file_id=8805&type=bug

Is there a reason that there is no "make uninstall"? And what is the
easiest way to completely remove Asterisk and Zaptel from any given
system -- cleanly and properly?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to "reinstall" just reinstall on top of the old system.

You can't really be sure that the uninstall script you'll be running is
using the same options as the one you build with.

If you want to allow a clean uninstall, either use asterisk from a
decent package or try something like checkinstall .
