I gladly offer my help here, I just have to know first, how exactly
everything is meant to work:

1.) Do you want to develop libtracker-gtk as a separate package or do
you want to have it included in the tracker source tree?
2.) If the former, you should use #include <tracker.h>
3.) If the latter, you should include tracker.h via #include
"../trackerd/tracker.h"
I'd also propose to *not* move libtracker-gtk files into
src/tracker-search-tool/ then, but instead create a separate
subdirectory src/libtracker-gtk and install it as a separate library
which can be used by 3rd party applications. The compilation of
src/libtracker-gtk would be optional (via a --enable-libtracker-gtk
configure switch).
src/tracker-search-tool/Makefile.am would use
../src/libtracker-gtk/libtracker-gtk.la and the tracker-search-tool
sources would optionally use libtracker-gtk (via #ifdefs).

I can quickly put together a patch if you prefer.

Cheers,
Michael
