What's the problem here?

1. Get f-spot from svn
2. Run ./autogen.sh and fix any build dependencies you're missing
3. Go to src directory and make your changes.
4. Run make
5. sudo make install
6. Type f-spot and test your changes
7. Repeat as necessary

Trying to put f-spot into a monodevelop solution is more trouble than
it's worth because it relies on locally built native libraries.  This
requires LD_LIBRARY path and scripting magic when deploying the
application to a staging/debug directory.
