With recursive make commands in your makefile, the overriding of EXEEXT
on the command line here will work reliably with GNU make only.  Problem
is, `env EXEEXT=.bin$(EXEEXT) $(MAKE) -e uninstall' is dangerous, too,
for other bits in the environment can be a problem.  Might as well live
with it and document the limitation, I guess.
