that would mean making classes in kdelibs conditionally compiled, or at least 
all the code #ifdef'd out, and going around and making all the file previews 
optional as well.

growing pains suck, and that's what strigi is going through right now, but it 
seems like less work in the overall scheme of things if we just muscle 
through it.

strigi does need to show some greater API discipline going forward, but as 
long as this is temporary, it's worth it. search and indexing can and should 
be a core part of the desktop. if we make it optional, we'll take a long time 
(if ever) in getting there.
