Thanks for both of these, David. I've gone ahead and pushed the first,
(generating the symbol list with sed and notmuch.h).

I assume by "better" you mean that this one is less fragile to issues
like the precise formatting of our notmuch.h header file.

Meanwhile, though, our API *is* declared in the header file, (that's
what the header file exists for), so I do prefer to base our symbol list
on it.

In fact, the ideal would probably be to take the objdump method and use
it in the test suite to verify that its output matches the contents of
notmuch.sym generated from the header file.
