No information on how to install libytnef

There's no information on how to install libytnef, which is required to install ytnef. It just refers to the old SourceForge site.

I'm getting the following trying to make ytneflib:

Agree with this. There needs to be instructions for installation added to github README.md file.

Here are 2 packages for Debian jessie: http://szepeviktor.github.io/debian/ Install libytnef from source: https://github.com/Yeraze/ytnef/blob/master/travis-build.sh#L4-L8 From package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/libytnef0 (v1.5)

It is extremely easy to generate a package: checkinstall

Just pushed an update that consolidates everything into 1 package and install..

Can you try again?
