NEWS: Add some (brief) news items for the initial 0.1 release.

Generally, the NEWS items will describe changes since the previous
release. But there's not much we can do for that since we've never had
a release before.

+Notmuch 0.1 (2010-04-05)
+========================
+This is the first release of the notmuch mail system.
+
+It includes the libnotmuch library, the notmuch command-line
+interface, and an emacs-based interface to notmuch.
+
+Note: Notmuch will work best with Xapian 1.0.18 (or later) or Xapian
+1.1.4 (or later). Previous versions of Xapian (whether 1.0 or 1.1) had
+a performance bug that made notmuch very slow when modifying
+tags. This would cause distracting pauses when reading mail while
+notmuch would wait for Xapian when removing the "inbox" and "unread"
+tags from messages in a thread.
