I *just* did this a couple hours ago for the first time.  I think I already 
had all the dependancies installed previously.  I'm pretty sure I built 
xapian by hand.  Talloc and GMime I installed via macports.

I ran into an issue with running notmuch from any directory other than the 
notmuch/lib source directory because the binary was linked to 
`libnotmuch.1.dylib` and not `/usr/local/lib/libnotmuch.1.dylib`.  Running 
the following command on the binary seemed to fix that problem, though I'm 
not sure why it occurred in the first place.

	sudo install_name_tool -change libnotmuch.1.dylib \ 
	/usr/local/lib/libnotmuch.1.dylib /usr/local/bin/notmuch
