Hi.

I think it would be great to provide a script allowing to do some maintenance on the xapian DB to improve performance, as explained in http://notmuchmail.org/performance/ (Compact your database).

Thanks in advance.

A few months^H^H^H nearly a year ago I had a patch[1] adding a `notmuch
compact` command.  I forgot about it until you mentioned this but I
think I'll try to finish the fix it up and resubmit for merge tonight.

Cheers,
