Re: [Tracker] Thunderbird support - patches

[Michal Pryc <Michal Pryc Sun COM>]

Hello

Please do not apply patches:
1. (19. tracker-17-thunderbird-support.diff )
2. (20. tracker-18-thunderbird-support.diff )
3. (21. tracker-19-thunderbird-support.diff )

I've just discovered small issue on the fresh svn checkout, which breaks 
the build.
