thanks, I was looking for these kind of things :)

Actually it wasn't that difficult, since there was already a Snowball
stemmer for Hungarian available. I only had to tweak it to fully
support UTF-8, and compile it with Snowball to get the source files I
could put into Tracker's source (of course I had to do some tweaks
there as well, because the generated files didn't exactly match the
interface of Tracker's libstemmer).

If I finish adding Hungarian, I'd be happy to start some documentation
about the process.
