We had some build problems using the generated aclocal (not me but some 
other people did).

Is the generated stuff gnome specific? Because tracker daemon is 
freedesktop and might be used by XFCE or some other desktop I would need 
that bit to be optional if it is.

We only build the tracker-search-tool if Gnome libs are detected. Im not 
an expert on the auto-foo stuff so any advioce here would be most 
appreciated
