Excellent idea!  I, too, have the problem you mentioned.  Its
especially annoying to try out a new program and months after
you've removed it find bits and pieces scattered throughout
win.ini.

I envision something like U*ix 'installpg' where you can
install and uninstall packages in an orderly fashion as well
as tell what is currently installed.

If it exists, I'd sure like to try it out.  Now, how do we get
all those commercial and shareware authors to agree to a standard
for installing Windows 3.0 programs?
