Agreed.  I think they're both pretty useful though, and I don't see a
point to *not* promoting one to =E2=80=9Ceasy to install with an appropriat=
ely
generic name=E2=80=9D.  However, I'm fine promoting the tools in two separa=
te
patch series if that would be easier to review.

So separate --without-=E2=80=A6 configure flags for each script, which will
also control the associated man pages and handle runtime-dependency
warnings/errors?

Looking over our current configure, I see we have a --without-ruby,
but no --without-python.  I may file a separate patch adding that, so
folks with Python installed can still opt-out of notmuch's Python
bindings.

Cheers,
Trevor
