Ah thanks, that is not so bad. It turns out to be literally a one line
change to add a query argument for notmuch-dump, _except_ that notmuch
dump already uses the first command line argument as an output file
name. I think I will start a seperate thread about that. If you want to
test, this works OK, except the output is put in a file named after the
query ;).
