+I'd like a one line subject that mentions libutil.a and perhaps
+"absolute path"

+This needs to be relative to ${dir}, not ${srcdir} in order not to break
+out of tree builds. You can test with
+
+% mkdir -p /tmp/foo-build
+% cd /tmp/foo-build
+% ~/projects/notmuch/configure && make
+
+Also, one Makefile gotcha is that anything using $(dir) should use :=
+rather than = to force immediate expansion.
