I'm also not sure what the uninstallation story with scripts is.

The scripts have enough breadcrumbs in them that you can figure out what egg they go with. More precisely, an egg contains enough information for you to search PATH for its scripts and verify that they still refer to the egg before removing them.

This is of course fragile if you put the scripts in some random location not on your PATH.

Anyway, actual implementation of uninstallation features isn't going to be until the 0.7 development cycle.
