[Voyage-linux] Install experimental package from git repository

[Sean]

You're right in that it would be easiest to do the compilation on a 
desktop machine. Voyage 0.6.x is based on Debian Lenny (5.0), so it is 
easiest if you get a machine set up with that. It could be a virtual 
machine if you know how to do that.

You'll need to download the development packages and libraries needed to 
compile mpd. Something like this would do the trick:

apt-get build-dep mpd
