Hi, Peter.  This commit log is rather terse.  Maybe the commit message
should explain a bit what this stub is intended to do.

This is an interesting series, but let me play devil's advocate for a
moment: Why is this functionality needed?  What can this functionality
do that notmuch new can't?  Or how is it better?  I feel like everything
that this series does can be done with notmuch new, post-new hooks, and
folder searches.  Does this makes things more efficient in some way?

There reason I'm asking is that I wonder if what you're trying to
accomplish can be better addresses in a different way.  For instance,
there has been discussion about putting together an inotify hook for
notmuch that would insert messages individually when they are delivered
on the system.  That seems like it might be more useful and efficient
for individual message insertion.
