           Summary: Support running <remove> action before <upgrade> and
                    <install>

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: config files

A number of software packages require uninstalling the previous version before
installing the new/current version and in order to avoid duplication, I suggest
adding the functionality to have remove jobs run before installs and upgrades.

One could imagine a syntax as follows:

<remove
  cmd='"%programfiles%\some_software\uninstall.exe" /S'
  run_before_install=false
  run_before_upgrade=true
 />
<remove
  cmd='%comspec% /c rd /q /s"%programfiles%\some_software"'
  run_before_install=false
  run_before_upgrade=true
 />

Using this syntax one wouldn't have to specify the <remove> logic multiple
times.
