I like the idea. The thing with the python bindings is that building
them wont detect any errors, one has to import the module. Quick and
dirty python oneliner that doesn't even require installing the
bindings:

teythoon@thinkbox ~/repos/notmuch (git)-[master] % ( export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(pwd)/lib" ; cd bindings/python && python -c "import notmuch" )
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "notmuch/__init__.py", line 54, in <module>
    from .database import Database
  File "notmuch/database.py", line 46, in <module>
    class Database(object):
  File "notmuch/database.py", line 76, in Database
    _get_directory = nmlib.notmuch_database_get_directory_b0rked
