My unsermake is the latest svn trunk. So I don't think coolo's thing worked...

kdenonbeta/unsermake/README says:

"At this point building KDE modules as usual, starting with
"unsermake -f Makefile.cvs" should work.  You should see the text:"

So unless the README is wrong that is the recommended thing to do.

Thanks, I will try that work around.  I did have a look to try and understand 
where the bug was coming from in unsermake but I find python to be completely 
unparseable and the more I look into it the more I hate it :)
