I think this highlights the need for at least a minimal test suite for
the ruby 

I do plan on a bug fix release, to fix an annoying emacs interface bug
if nothing else. I'd rather see a fix/revert coordinated with Ali in his
role as ruby bindings maintainer.

FWIW, the previous situation of linking with the installed version of
notmuch sounds somewhat broken as well, although obviously preferable to
not working at all.
