First of all, how old is your unsermake? My original version detection
code was rather pedantic and insisted on a version being available. Some 6
weeks or so ago Coolo changed that to default to assuming Qt Designer 3.0
or something when the version is unknown, and thus there should always be
a fallback.

Is that identical to 'make -f Makefile.cvs'? AFAIK you should not use
unsermake for this step, but only for actual compiles and links. At least
that's how I've always been doing it and unlike the compile and link steps
there is no warning that I should call unsermake directly for make -f
Makefile.cvs.

That's because the version is unknown. Unknown in the 'old' code means
"fix the UI file" (or in this case, fix the detection, the .ui says Qt
3.3, so the regexp is wrong somewhere, can't test from work). As a
workaround you could change the Makefile.am to explicitly change the file
in the virtual file firesaversetup.ui3 (without renaming the real file!),
but besides getting the thing to build for now that's not the real
solution.
