Hey all,
I've written Ruby bindings for the notmuch library.

Here are related links:
Gitweb: http://github.com/alip/notmuch/tree/ruby
Git: git://github.com/alip/notmuch.git (branch ruby)
API documentation: http://dev.exherbo.org/~alip/notmuch/ruby/

Building is simple:
=2D Clone the git url mentioned above and switch to the ruby branch.
=2D Build the notmuch library
=2D cd bindings/ruby
=2D ruby extconf.rb
=2D make

This is written in pure C, unlike Python bindings, which uses
ctypes. This means it should be a bit faster but possibly more buggy,
especially the garbage collection routines. I've tried hard to make
Ruby's GC play nice with notmuch's talloc based memory allocation but I
can't be sure if it's bug-free.

I haven't written any examples yet but the API documentation should be
clear enough for one to understand and dive in.

As usual, any comments, patches welcome.

=2D-=20
Regards,
Ali Polatel
