Hey, folks.  FYI, I build a gmime2.6 debian package from Daniel's new
packaging [0], and it built and installed completely cleanly.  After
reconfiguring notmuch, it picked up the 2.6 library and compiled and
works without issue.

Thanks so much dkg and everyone who got the compatibility working!
Sounds like official packages might be showing up in experimental soon.

jamie.
