Description

This is the content of my (dedicated) install prefix for pcl. If apps are build, the bundle folders are not being uninstalled after.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the install-prefix tree on OS X and locating the uninstall rules responsible for built app bundles; done means uninstalling removes the app/bundle folders shown under install/bin.
