Here is the problem.  Say I develop my application with that mdk.  Now I 
distribute it and tell developers on Debian to go grab Unsermake.  Where do 
they find 0.3.1?  Yes some distros may be including Unsermake, but they are 
picking the release's at almost random versions sense there have been no 
official releases.  This is not something that developers will ever soly rely 
upon to be the build system for their application/lib.
