I've built trunk successfully (Ubuntu Maverick, no additional libraries)
and I'll be happy to test it, but on my laptop I'm already using the
"Maverick" version of shotwell: is there a way I can test the trunk side
by side the stable shotwell?

I've installed the trunk on a separate directory and I know I can change
the datadir with -d option, but what about cgonf preferences? Is there a
way I can start the trunk without polluting the "stable" conf?

Note: compilation leads to a lot of warnings: are you aware of these or
you want me to bugtrack them?
