Isn't notmuch one of those programs that usually distribute the Emacs
Lisp code along with the package (or as a dependency) that you would
install using your system file manager?  Or in other words, how
interoperable is notmuch.el with different versions of notmuch?  Does
the current build from NonGNU ELPA work even if I have a old release?
