+1 from me.

I literally just coded up a similar patch, and the first email I see
with the newly compiled notmuch is this one. I've now tried Thomas's
(better) patch with gmime-2.6.4 and notmuch
7ddd849015759a329bf8fef8c8b5a93359408962, and can confirm it works fine
for me. This build breakage is otherwise quite painful.

Thanks Thomas.

Tim
