+Yep, that all makes sense. ...especially the naming quandary.\r

+\r
+My little research project started when I ran `brew install notmuch` and =\r
+got this\r
+failure. If there is a better solution, the homebrew folks don't have =\r
+it.\r
+\r
+so, rename the local library, or use an absolute path to it during =\r
+builds?\r
+\r
+The latter feels slightly more robust to me, since it completely =\r
+precludes name collisions.=20\r
+Though if we add 'notmuch' to the lib name, name collisions seem pretty =\r
+unlikely.\r
+\r
+If no one else adds any comments in the next day or two, I'll submit a =\r
+patch adding the absolute path behavior.\r
