Subject: Makefile: Inform user that they might want to call ./configure explicitly.
X-Git-Tag: 0.1~223
X-Git-Url: https://git.notmuchmail.org/git?p=notmuch;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4b0327004a3f9a36352b81a5b778740d68bf3078

Makefile: Inform user that they might want to call ./configure explicitly.

If the Makefile does this for the user, then no arguments are passed. So
it's only polite to let the user know that it's possible to get pass those
arguments.
