Hi Alec, welcome to notmuch!

And thanks for this patch. I've pushed it now.

I need this quite often when setting up a new database for testing a
patch, for example. And I had an environment variable for the database
path once upon a time, before adding a configuration file. But I lost
that feature when adding the configuration file. So it's really nice to
have this functionality back again.

We should probably add support for "notmuch -f <config-filename>" as
well. I've noted that idea in the TODO file now, (which just keeps
growing somehow).
