Are you asking for improved comment text in the git commit, or for
something else?  I'm happy to provide improved comment text, if that's
what you're asking for.

when building against gmime-3.0, this #include supplies:

    #define unused(x) x __attribute__ ((unused))

When building against gmime-2.6, it provides:

    #include <strings.h>


I could replace it with these two things explicitly (and i could put
them inside the GMIME_MAJOR_VERSION tests) if that would be preferable
to #including lib/notmuch-private.h.  Any preference?
