An alternative approach would be to fix
NOTMUCH_SKIP_TESTS="reply reply-to-sender multipart.37 from-guessing" ./notmuch-test
to return exist status 0, and ideally to print the correct number of
tests skipped.
I think the former just requires patching line 85 of
aggregate-results.sh. I don't see an easy way to do the latter.
This is arguably less crufty, or at least uses existing cruft. On the
other hand, it doesn't distinguish between a test printing an extra
space, and complete garbage.
