1. Ruby is, among other things, a first-class scripting language. Use  
your Ruby skills. Write a script to delete the files on the install  
manifest if that's what you are set on doing.

2. The dot refers to current directory when the installer ran. In  
this case, you can infer from the manifest that . == /, so you can  
ignore the dot.
