There is one reason why I don't want the daemon to always start with all
extensions found in some locations: when developing zeitgeist and
running the daemon "from the branch" I want to have complete control
over things which are loaded, and I also want to always run a
minimalistic version of zeitgeist.

Bug description:
(Canonical hat on)

For packaging reasons it would be nice if Zeitgeist would automatically load all extensions found somewhere on the file system so that we could ship the FTS extension in a separate .deb for Unity. In theory it's possible to use the env vars there are, but that will require some nasty tricks in the package afaik.

On a more general note this feature would also make it easier for distributors to ship a clean unpatched Zeitgeist, but sill bundle their own extensions. Fx. MeeGo might want to ship the Tracker extension by default.
