PyQt4 will be released in stages - so it might be a few releases before it
becomes useful for most people. The initial releases will certainly be
minus pyuic.

I think supporting Qt3 is a good idea - it should ensure that the
implementation is designed around supporting multple major Qt releases
from the start. I'd happily deprecate the existing pyuic3 once it proved
its worth.
