The main problem is that if I add something to the source code then I
am responsible for it. Obviously CMake developers have a very good
reason for not coding this very simple feature, but I just can't see
what it is. There may be an edge case that causes data loss, I don't
know. This sort of thing makes me cautious.

That being said, this is a unix-only problem, and on unix your patch
reduces to the following shell one-liner:

(sudo) xargs rm < install_manifest.txt

Is it enough to add this to the documentation?
