Sorry - should have been "patched offlineimap" ( https://github.com/aroig/offlineimap
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/5943/focus=5970 and
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/5970 )

It is synching the gmail labels into the x-keywords header as a comma separated list. These could
then be used by notmuch to be added to the labels. It also does sync changes from the X-Keywords
to gmail (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/5943/focus=5970 for details)

OK.
