+Thanks for the patch. I'll let Justus (in copy) decide what the best way\r
+to deal with this issue is.\r
+\r
+I just wanted to point both of you (as an example) to commit\r
+\r
+ 233b5528cd4\r
+\r
+Which avoids re-computing the name of the shared library in the ruby\r
+bindings build system since it is already computed by the notmuch\r
+configure script. If possibly, I'd like to centralize these\r
+computations, so that we don't have to litter the entire source with\r
+various "if Darwin then blah" choices. And obviously it's better not to\r
+have update many places every time MacOS changes it's mind.\r
+\r
+I guess some people might like to build the bindings outside the notmuch\r
+source tree (via pypi or whatever). That's not a case I personally want\r
+to support, but I defer to Justus.\r
