Meanwhile, the Makefile.local file at each level is a Makefile snippet

Print "part" markers for each MIME part (with Content-type).

This can allow for the client to hide undesired MIME parts
such as text/html.

We now actually get text content rather than blocks of BASE64, etc.

TODO: Add several items.

These are the things that are actively preventing me from being able
to use notmuch as an email-reading client.

Add an INSTALL file.

The README file was already referring to this, so we actually add it
now.

Carl Worth [Mon, 2 Nov 2009 17:11:37 +0000 (09:11 -0800)]
Add a simple configure script.

This is *not* based on autoconf. In fact, this doesn't actually
configure anything, (one can compile notmuch directly with just
"make" without running configure if the dependencies are all
satisfied).

The only thing that this configure script does is to check for the
presence of the various dependencies and provide some guidance to
the user if they are not all available.

Makefile: Rewrite to use NOTMUCH rather than MY in variable names.

I was about to refer to these names in some documentation, so I
wanted a slightly better name for them.
