[PATCH] create and set temporary home directory

[Florian Friesdorf]

Hi Jamie,

any chance of getting this patch into 0.6?

It would enable me to run the tests for the nixos package without
patching.

You could pull it from:
git://github.com/chaoflow/notmuch.git

branch: for-review/test-fixes
commit: d8842075b1ff6f008e60aced5f4e0b4d7ac79515

regards
