Subject: notmuch INSTALL file outdated?

Hi David,
Hi Carl,

I write to you because you're the main contributors to the INSTALL file in the
notmuch repository (according to git-shortlog -sne).

From what I see, the INSTALL file tells me

    Note: Notmuch will work best with Xapian 1.0.18 (or later) or
    Xapian 1.1.4 (or later).

but if I compile notmuch, it requires xapian >= 1.4.0, from the configure
output:

    Reading libnotmuch version from source... OK.
    Checking for Xapian development files (>= 1.4.0)... No.
    Checking for GMime development files (>= 3.0.3)... No.
    Checking for Glib development files (>= 2.22)... No.

so I question whether the INSTALL file is up to date.

Please double-check :-)

Have a nice Sunday,
best,
Matthias
