As already explained in a previous email, we won't currently publish any
collation function, although things may change if we ever decide to
support additional collation methods, like the title collation. Anyway,
the API could be something like this:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker/tree/src/libtracker-data/tracker-collation.h?h=collation

This is, a pair of init() and deinit() methods to initialize a collator
object (needed if using libicu) plus the collation function.

Cheers,
