Thanks JÃrg, Philip,

While we could change master here, I actually wonder where we're using 
this Harmattan code?

Is it on MeeGo?
Is it for general purpose (i.e. someone wants to use gconf with dbus)?

Depending on these answers, we can either:

a) fix in master and rename as Philip suggests
b) create a new .c file for that target

I am fine with either as long as we don't disrupt anyone using Tracker 
on existing platforms. Richard, patches/branches welcome ;)
