Yes, sorry about that. We're woefully late on a release that will
include this feature. Our current release manager expects that release
within a couple of days at least, so that's good!

Ouch. It looks like your linker isn't finding anything in the notmuch
library at all. I wonder what went wrong there. Some things to try would
be:

	make V=1

to see the complete linker command line to see if something is obviously
wrong there.

And otherwise to try a "git bisect" to see when the compilation stopped
working.

To start a bisect, you'll need to know a point where notmuch actually
compiles successfully on your system—0.5 perhaps? Double-check that
with:

	git checkout 0.5	# Get the code from the 0.5 release
        make			# See if it compiles
        git checkout master	# Come back to master

If that went fine then you can bisect with:

	git bisect start
        git bisect good 0.5	# Indicate that 0.5 is good
        git bisect bad		# Indicate that the current state is bad

After that you'll iterate by running:

	make

Followed by one of the following:

	git bisect good		# If the compile succeeded
	git bisect bad		# If the compile failed

In the end, git should tell you a "first bad commit". Send that output
to the list and we can start pinning down what went wrong. Then you can
finalize your git-bisect run with:

	git bisect reset

Good luck!
