First Step and Installing xv on Ubuntu

Instead of the first step, I'll first update the instructions for installing xv on Ubuntu (see here). Surely all reasonable people would agree that world peace can wait a little longer.

The occasion for the update is a new laptop on which I installed Ubuntu 10.04 - the install went smoothly and I wanted xv on the machine again.

This time I just pasted the package names from the last post into synaptic and let it resolve the dependencies right away. I found that xlibs-dev and libpng-dev were not available anymore, but they were not needed either. All other steps of the original post are still applicable as written.
