[Shotwell] Compiling Shotwell on Debian Testing

[David Velazquez]

Ah, success! I finally (after about 4 hours on an off) managed to build
Shotwell from source. I'm not sure what the problem was last time that
prompted this message in the first place but I will surmise it had something
to do with libgphoto2 which I had first attempted to compile and then failed
at it.

My best guess is that I didn't remove it completely or did so incorrectly
which caused the mass of errors in the pastebin below. I'm still interested
in attempting to compile libgphoto2 for the hell of it but must remember to
do so on a virtual system first.

Bengt, thank you again for your "lazy mans" guide. It proved invaluable in
my attempts to trouble shoot.
