"Uninstalling" installed files?

[griminventions]

Is there a script or other way to remove the CS files that get installed by jam install?  Or maybe there's at least some history or log of what got installed and where?

No, but having at least a log is a good idea. The old make-based build system used to leave a log file stating what had been installed, but the Jam-based system doesn't. I'll think about how this feature can be added to the Jam build system.

At any rate, removing CS is pretty simple for the most part since most resources are compartmentalized. You can remove the following directories and files (where ${prefix} is the installation location; usually /usr/local):

${prefix}/etc/crystalspace/
${prefix}/lib/crystalspace/
${prefix}/lib/libcrystalspace*
${prefix}/share/crystalspace/

The only non-compartmentalized resources are the applications, which end up directly in ${prefix}/bin. You will have to remove these one at a time. The list of programs installed is probably:

csdemo
3ds2lev
map2cs
maya2spr
md22spr
md32spr
ceguitest
csbench
csfgen
cslight
docconv
heightmapgen
levtool
lighter
lighter2
partedit
startme
viewmesh
vsh
walktest

Cool, thanks for such a complete reply. 

I think it's been mentioned but have you guys considered using SCons for builds instead of Jam?  Since there's already a strong connection to Python in the code/engine, it removes the need to learn yet another system/pseudo-language to be able to manipulate the build process.  Just a friendly idea.
