I've now got that all setup. I fixed the emacs FCC code to treat the
notmuch-fcc-dirs variable as relative to the notmuch database path[*]
(rather than the former message-directory variable which required the
user to do extra configuration settings).

And with that, I've now turned FCC within emacs on by default, (to a
directory named "sent"---feel free to customize the 'notmuch-fcc-dirs if
you'd like it to go somewhere by default).

So I've applied these patches now (after fixing them up against the
latest code, such as the modularized test suite).

For people who want this, the FCC can be turned off by setting
notmuch-fcc-dirs to nil. Then, to get Bcc or Cc turned on for all mails,
the right answer is probably to use a message-mode hook, (or even a
notmuch hook if we have the right one already). I imagine some
documentation on this would be useful. So if someone is motivated to
figure it out, please let us know.

[*] Implementing this required allowing the emacs interface to be able
to get at notmuch configuration settings. So I've added a new "notmuch
config" command which can be used as follows:

	$ notmuch config set user.name "Carl Worth"
        $ notmuch config get user.name
        Carl Worth

etc. Perhaps others might find this useful.
