[Shotwell] Building shotwell from trunk

[Bruno Girin]

David,

As Mattias pointed out, you need to be root to run make install, so on
Ubuntu, you would do:

$ make
$ sudo make install

Everything is installed in /usr/local so is completely separate from
what is installed through apt-get or Synaptic. I've got it working fine
on my Lucid laptop.
