For now, how about putting a copy of cmake into trunk/kdenonbeta alongside unsermake.
Then make building/installing cmake a requirement.  Ideally the build instructions change
from "add unsermake to your $PATH" to "add cmake to your $PATH".

Eventually the distros will have to start providing cmake binaries.
