Cool, something you might want to include in Tracker itself perhaps? :)

Make install should be a NOP, because the target library is in the 
target: noinst_LTLIBRARIES.

If you change the target to modules_LTLIBRARIES a .so is created in 
.libs/ and make install should work properly.

For real examples, see src/tracker-extract/

You can also set the tracker-extract modules directory to the current 
directory to test your work without needing to install it.

See man tracker-extract for TRACKER_EXTRACTORS_DIR and 
TRACKER_EXTRACTOR_RULES_DIR environment variables ;)
