Ok, after getting the latest master branch from git, do:

autoreconf -fsi
./configure
ln -sf vde/device.c src/device.c
make

This will get you a tincd binary that will connect to a VDE socket instead of a
tun/tap device.  The configuration options are:

Device = <path to VDE ctl directory> (default: /var/run/vde.ctl)
VDEPort = <port number to connect to> (default: 0)
VDEGroup = <group name> (default: empty)

It loads the libvdeplug library dynamically.
