I've planned for this for a while, but I just want to have an issue to remind myself to do it.

Early tests show it can have just the package ID specified for things like Terminal, but packages not installed with MSIX packages need their Add/Remove Programs entry to be specified. This makes it kinda complicated unless non-MSIX manifests have an "uninstall" key specified. What would be nice is if all the packages were available in MSIX format so that this would be simple, but a lot of packages don't have a signing certificate they can use. Hopefully this'll change when the free signing service is available.

Most of this is complete, but I need to add a way to say whether the uninstaller should take a package's version into consideration. That would be done with a checkbox in the "Options" window, and I can add a "More..." linklabel to the "Apply Changes" window that opens a small tool window with the "Apply Changes" tab checkboxes duplicated. Checking and unchecking the boxes immediately applies the setting, saves, and reloads, and there can be a "Defaults" button to reset them to default. The window will close when the "Apply Changes" window is closed by using the "closing" event, and I guess there can be a "Close" button in the bottom-right.

By default, we won't specify the version number, but it may be necessary in some cases so the option will be there.

This'll be available when upgrading, too.

There's a way to ignore versions now as of 56356be, so this can be closed.

Now there's a "Defaults" button, as that window is kinda complicated.
