I see, thank you. I am actually not interested in the source itself
for now, I only attempted to get the emacs integration to work.
I actually got notmuch via apt-get, and if I try to apt-get install
notmuch-emacs, it says I have it already.
So it seems I have notmuch-emacs installed, what I don't know is where
to point emacs to for it to find this installation.

Now emacs seems to have found them somehow. I had a system restart in
between, maybe that's what fixed it.
After examining my load-path, I saw that
/usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/notmuch was added there.
Who modified load-path, and how? I could see no environment variable
about notmuch, maybe everything under site-lisp/ is added to load-path
at each emacs start?
