[Shotwell] Call for testing

[Bruno Girin]

Cor,

When compiling software, you need the development headers for the
libraries that are used by this software. On Ubuntu, they are in
additional packages that have a name endind in -dev. So for exiv2, you
will need to install the package called libexiv2-dev:

sudo apt-get install libexiv2-dev

If you have a similar problem with another library, do the following:

aptitude search <name-of-library>

Then find a package called <name-of-library>-dev or
lib<name-of-library>-dev and install it using the same command as above.
The name of the package may also include a version. For example, in the
case of gstreamer (which you will need), it's called
libgstreamer0.10-dev.
