Translations:

  Many, thank you to everyone involved.

Notes:

  The database version has been incremented, this will force a
  reindex for any existing Tracker installation.

  Existing configurations should have migration paths to new GSettings
  based format.

  Of all the requirement changes listed above, the only GSettings and
  GObject Introspection are absolutely required to build Tracker, the
  others are optional depending on components being built. These are
  also only when building from git, not a distributed tarball (which
  should have the m4 macros packaged).
