Did a search, but the answers were inconclusive.

I know -most- of the files are installed in /usr/local/mysql, but I've heard there are files placed in other locations as well.

Hence the following :

Does this work with any MySQL package installation? How reliable is it?

Or are there other reliable methods of -complete- uninstallation available?

run these two commands to find out where mysql is littered around:

sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
(wait for the database to update)
locate mysql

obviously, that will pick up on any files with mysql in the title, but you should be able to work from that, if you know your own files when you see them
