The code still exists in libtracker-common. I thought we used this at 
least in debugging. Looks like we don't use it though. We currently have 
a progress % which is actually accurate. We had a lot of complaints that 
the estimation wasn't accurate enough before.

Yea, that's easily fixed. We can add an estimation but generally we 
don't signal it. We can add it to the logging if you think that would 
help. I too liked this feature.
