Do you know details, by any chance?
There are 112 open bugs [1] which doesn't look too good, though several 
of them are of the "Please support distro X" kind. It's more the amount 
of "Undecided" bugs that makes it look bad...
It might nevertheless be better to help fix unetbootin rather than build 
our own tool.
