libtpproto-java currently supports TP03 (at least the part I needed), but
the protocol classes are autogenerated from protocol definition files and
TP04 *should* work (as long as documents/protocol/protocol.xml is correct).
You just need to generate the classes :)

Well, the package manager is responsible for "registering" packages, not the
package itself (it's the "Linux way", in contrast to the "Windows way"). So
if you manually install something (as apparently you did), you have to also
be able to manually remove it. That's why there's /usr/local directory :)

But, anyway, I think there should be a make target that uninstalls more or
less automatically (just as there is "make install"). I'm not na autotools
guru, so someone else should confirm (or deny) it...
