[Shotwell] Building shotwell from trunk

[Mattias Põldaru]

Sorry, I was wrong here, as I did not read your letter thoroughly.

You definitely need to run make install with sudo, since it has to
install to system directories, where user cannot write to.

Actually in the install instructions there is written "# make install",
where # refers to a command which needs to be run as root (or with
sudo), as opposed to $ which refers to a ordinary user.
