Installation of libcddb

By default this package accesses freedb.org, which is already closed. Modify the default to use gnudb.gnudb.org instead, and fix two stale test data files: 

sed -e '/DEFAULT_SERVER/s/freedb.org/gnudb.gnudb.org/' \
    -e '/DEFAULT_PORT/s/888/&0/'                       \
    -i include/cddb/cddb_ni.h                          &&
sed '/^Genre:/s/Trip-Hop/Electronic/' -i tests/testdata/920ef00b.txt &&
sed '/DISCID/i# Revision: 42'         -i tests/testcache/misc/12340000

Install libcddb by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check -k. The test suite needs the Internet connection. One test fails due to missing test server.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
