I am having similar problem with the files not being found. Here is my configure.log:
/usr/bin/zip
/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/doxygen
<stdin>:3:25: fatal error: CUnit/Basic.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
<stdin>:3:18: fatal error: mxml.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
<stdin>:3:23: fatal error: picomodel.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
I'm not sure where to get these files. Basic.h sounds like a UFOAI file. No clue on the other two. I've done the git commands as directed, cut and pasted them straight into the command line. Any ideas or suggestions?

Update: Going to keep an updated log in case someone else has similar issues.
Found CUnit. It is an installable package.
mxml - mini-xml. Found it. Wasn't showing up in Synaptic, but found it on the UFOAI announcement website and installed with "apt-get install libmxml-dev"
picomodel - only place its showing up is in relation to ufoai. I found it in the lib directory structure. Still can't seem to get it to get past the configure, but appears to be related to uforadiant, as noted above, so will try to compile without it and hopefully that works.
