That would have been a lonnnnnng time ago.  My copy of Automake
1.4 doesn't handle it either.

 Tom> Is there any reason to want an uninstall-hook?
 Tom> Does the functionality make sense?

There are two other bug reports regarding this missing
uninstall-hook:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2000/msg00009.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2001/msg00403.html

While the second report can be rewritten using uninstall-local,
the first (removing empty directories left after uninstall)
seems to be a case where uninstall-local is not enough.

 Tom> Would we need to run the hook before or after all the
 Tom> other uninstall rules?

The above example needs -hook to be run _after_.  (Fortunately!)
