Hello,

at first I'd like to thank you guys for a great and fast webbrowser. 
I've been using it as my standard browser for a very long time now.

The reason I'm writing is that I've been thinking about helping you out 
on programming Epiphany. I've never worked on such big projects, so 
there're some things I need to know before I'd able to help.

I'm using Debian Lenny which carries out version 2.14 of Epiphany. But 
the stable version is 2.18.1, and unstable 2.19.2(!). So I need some 
testing environment to be able to build the newest sources. The best 
solution for me would be to keep my system as is. Of course that's not 
really possible because of dependencies to other libs etc. Now my 
question is: can you give me some tips or hints on how to establish an 
environment that fits all needs to build the newest sources? (maybe a 
chrooted environment, or even a VM?)

I hope that I can help, since that's the only possibility for me to say 
"Thank you". :-)

Regards,
