[PATCH] libnotmuch: build symbols list without relying on gcc -aux-info.

[david at tethera.net]

From: David Bremner <bremner at debian.org>

Carl reports "gcc -aux-info notmuch.aux lib/notmuch.h" does not
generate notmuch.aux for him with Debian gcc 4.6.0-8.

Based on a suggestion by Austin Clements, this version uses objdump to
get the symbols from the object files.

Any symbol that

    - is in some object file in $(libnotmuch_modules), and
    - starts with notmuch_

will be exported.

 Here is another way of doing this, probably better unless you are
 very attached to the idea of declaring the API in the header file.
