Hi David,

This is really great stuff. I just merged this, and restricted mysefl to
following up with only a very tiny patch to clean up some warnings from
the emacs compilation.

Here is some quick feedback;

  * This should be integrated such that (require 'notmuch) provides the
    notmuch-hello functionality. That's our documented access point for
    getting at notmuch functionality.

  * The logo background is gray on my white-background emacs. That looks odd.

  * It would be great if point were in the search bar right when this
    mode started.

  * I'd like the saved searches to appear before the recent searches I
    think.

  * I'm not sure how useful the numbered shortcuts are for the recent
    searches. We want to encourage people to move to saved searches
    instead, (and the recent searches are quite transient anyway). So do
    we really need these? [I mistook them for message counts at first.]

  * Repeating a recent search by pressing RET on it creates a new
    identical search which doesn't seem all that useful.

  * I would *love* a simple way to import my existing notmuch-folder
    configuration into notmuch-hello. Bonus points if this happens
    automatically.

Finally, I'm quite inclined to make `notmuch' invoke this mode, so think
about that.

That's the feedback I have from a very quick, first look. I'm sure I'll
have more later.

Thanks again! This is really slick.

-Carl
