Checked. It works. Simply replace gi18n.h with gi18n-lib.h in your
patch. The GETTEXT_PACKAGE define come from config.h

Using gi18n-lib.h the _() macro became 

        #define _(String) dgettext (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, String)
        
so future external applications can use it with no i18n pain.

Now the real issue are bad messages (from a l10n point of view[1]) in
libtracker-gtk, in new tracker-search-tool and in tracker-preferences.

Here are a lot of malformed messages (markups, plurals, splitted
sentences). If you are right, it's better fix translatable strings
before add them to POTFILES.in. I'll report on this later
