The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal
calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump.
The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls
in zlib.
We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the
dump file is either present and complete, or not present. This avoids
certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a
bad or partial one.

This is the output from sphinx-quickstart, massaged a bit, along with
our existing man pages converted to rst.
A skeleton notmuch-emacs manual is also included. It is not suitable
for end user use yet.

Given that everything prefers 2.6 over 2.4, it seems appropriate to
suggest that people install the 2.6 dev package instead of 2.4.

The INSTALL file still had old information about the "make
install-emacs" command which no longer exists. README was also giving
pointers on how to develop a real interface, (which is not the right
thing since README should be addressed to users, not coders).
So remove the stale and misplaced information, and instead add a new
"Running notmuch" section to the README describing how to run the
notmuch command-line interface and how to run the emacs interface.

These versions provide greatly desired performance advantages for
notmuch.
Previously, theses details existed in an old NEWS entry, but most
users are unlikely to find those details there. Put them here where we
mention the Xapian dependency.

|
We already had this command in the error message from the configure script,
so we should include it here as well.
|
|
We have some good documentation in ./configure --help, so we should
direct users to it.
|
|
Hopefully this will save some people some head-scratching trying
to figure out how to use it.
|
|
Write down the steps needed to install and actuall use notmuch in emacs. Should
help emacs newbies.

As reported on the mailing list.

The README file was already referring to this, so we actually add it
now.
