[sugar] trouble with Build

[Ryan Pavlik]

There is no need to use su - you can install jhbuild in your home 
directory and it will run everything fine from there, without changing 
the versions of your system's packages.  I'm not sure if doing 
sugar-jhbuild as root (su) is even recommended at all, since I believe 
the intent of the system was to allow you to download, build, and run 
Sugar without disrupting your computer's operating environment.
