I think the answer should be "Yes", since Strigi is a hard requirement.

yuck.
we need to think of something better... more like we do fir the Qt plugins..
how about:

# Set the path for  Strigi plugins provided by KDE
if test -n "$STRIGI_PLUGIN_PATH"; then
  STRIGI_PLUGIN_PATH="$STRIGI_PLUGIN_PATH:`kde4-config --path strigiplugins`"
else
  STRIGI_PLUGIN_PATH="`kde4-config --path strigiplugins`"
fi
export STRIGI_PLUGIN_PATH


Then someone needs to modify kde4-config accordingly.
I volunteer Jos to do that work since he knows Strigi the best. :)

How about this solution?
