I'm not dead-set against additional dependencies, but I think I do take
a conservative approach, (hence copying in the tiny libsha1.c rather
than linking to any enormous encryption library).

For something like this, I don't see the need for any library at
all---generating any particular format is always *much* easier than
parsing it.

So I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of tiny functions in notmuch for this
(or other formats). And I think it would be better to start with code
that's already written and debugged (and license compatible!) rather
than starting from scratch.
