[PATCH 0/7] notmuch search date:since..until query support

[Jani Nikula]

Hi all, this series adds a decent date range query support to the
notmuch lib. For example:

 $ notmuch search date:2012-01-01..2012-02-01
 $ notmuch search date:10:00..13:00
 $ notmuch search date:monday..friday
 $ notmuch search date:2months5days..2weeks5hours
 $ notmuch search date:last-week..yesterday
 $ notmuch search date:today..
 $ notmuch search date:..today

and so on. See the man page in patch 7 for further details. Or play with
the test tool from patch 3 to see how the parser works (try -h for
help):

 $ test/parse-time -d yesterday
 Fri Aug 03 00:00:00 +0300 2012

The added tests are fairly limited, but things are in place for both
testing the date parser directly (using the above tool) and through
notmuch. I'm hoping these could be amended later.

Finally, the git repo for the parser itself is at [1], with some
background info in the README [2]. I'm not sure if I'll maintain the git
repo if and when this gets merged to notmuch, but it contains the
history since the last time I submitted this.

BR,
Jani.
