Actually, I'm the only user of this particular machine so installing in
$HOME/local/ is not a problem.

(Also, the main incentive for doing this rebuild is that when I "upgraded" to
debian, and thus downgraded shotwell, I found that shotwell could no longer
read my photo database.  As I had a *large* number of tags and so forth,
I would prefer to recover them using a newer version of shotwell than retag
them.  Any new user on my machine can happily use the system version of
shotwell without knowing what they are missing!)

By "share binaries" do you mean so that others using Debian who want the
binaries can simple install them from my build?  If so, sure!  *When* I get
a successful build, then I'll ask for instructions on how best to do that (but
I'll walk before I run ...).

Thanks again for your help,

Andrew
