78 What we could simply have at the time being:
\r
81 devel/nmbug/nmbug.rst (or .1)
\r
82 devel/nmbug/nmbug-status
\r
83 devel/nmbug/nmbug-status.rst (or .1)
\r
84 devel/nmbug/nmbug-status-config
\r
85 devel/nmbug/nmbug-status-config.rst (or .5)
\r
87 (and if .rst:s, a Makefile to build the namual pages)
\r
89 The responsibility to install the tools could be
\r
90 outside of notmuch for now...
