It is really not a big deal if you just remove the whole directory of
[latest] and [contribute]. But it is not a simple task either if the users
just want to remove the tar balls of the older packages and keep those of
the lastest. Not mention that the tar balls are under different directories.
To remove those tar balls by hand might take some time.
I was wondering that instead of revising the setup.exe, I might be better to
provide the users with a bash script.(or they should write it by
themselves:)
