Tracker allows specifying a "unicode support library". Whatever is 
chosen there, either libicu *or* libunistring, it will be used for 
proper Unicode-based FTS parsing and also for collation. If your primary 
use case is FTS, libunistring is quite faster parsing text.

The sqlite libicu extension is not really needed. We do provide our own 
libicu-based FTS parser if --with-unicode-support=libicu is used.
