DOH, I should have known :-). Emacs 23.1 has: "help-window-select" which
when set to 't behaves as I want it. It creates a split help window and
selects it. When pressing 'q' it deletes the frame.

This should go into the wiki or some other documentation. Or we should
set it locally for notmuch-help.

For notmuch-help I actually don't need a split window (I want
temporarily see as much info as possible and close the buffer quickly),
does the help-window thing also allow for that?

Thanks in any case.
