No, in general it's not. It's fairly common to install LLVM under a
standard prefix such as /usr or /usr/local so that its headers and
libraries are found by LLVM applications without any ado.

In any case, cmake does install into /usr/local by default on Un*x-like
systems, so a corresponding 'make uninstall' target should be offered as
well. Support for 'make uninstall' is pretty standard these days. I
consider that an important feature, and I'm surely not alone with this.
