Patch doesn't work for me.

Before patch:

	0:~/src/notmuch:(master)$ make
	Use "make V=1" to see the verbose compile lines.
	  CC	notmuch-new.o
	  CXX	notmuch

After patch:

	0:~/src/notmuch:(master)$ make 
	-e Use "make V=1" to see the verbose compile lines.
	  CC	debugger.o
	-e   CC	gmime-filter-reply.o
	-e   CC	notmuch.o

It's a shame that simple things like "echo" aren't easy to use portably.
(And yes, I know that autoconf has a bunch of tests for echo, such as
how to get the behavior of "echo -n", etc.)
