Downloading source code

[Marc Stergionis]

Because YDL uses a Debian-style (apt-get) package/install system, 
shouldn't you also be able to  install from source by typing:

apt-get install Juk

?

That said, one *should* know, and be able to use, the compile/install 
instructions such as Joe outlines here.
