Hello,
We recently took some interest in wpkg, it seems it will allow us to automate 
a lot of windows work. One question though: is there an easy to create an 
uninstall profile for a set of defined software.

To illustrate this a bit more, say you have X number of workstations with 
software maintained currently by hand. Most have software A, B & C, but you 
want to start deploying wpkg for all of them. Thus the need to be able to 
easily remove existing software arises. 

Think of an admin going to a workstation, issuing one command to clean up the 
existing thunderbird, firefox, etc - then running wpkg with synchronize 
options, and having them installed from packages. 

What are some of the ways you have been dealing with the existing 
installations?
