Wouldn't this effectively shove the requirement of triggering whatever 
uninstall script/app bundled with the windows app, onto portage?
I can't really see any clean way to do that. 

Sure, might be nice/easier using emerge, but I don't see any 
clean/easy way portage could actually provide the expected support for 
it.  Doesn't help that ebuilds aren't interactive, and windows app 
installation are exactly the other way around :)
