[PATCH] external search engine support in mutt patterns

[Michael Elkins <me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

After reading more about http://notmuchmail.org I got inspired to figure
out how to use a full text search engine with Mutt.  I wrote a patch
which allows the use of a new pattern match, "~q STR" which allows the
user to query external search engines in addition to using the stock
patterns.  As a proof of concept, there is also a wrapper around mairix
for use with this patch.

Note: this only works with Maildir, and possibly MH (though I have not
tested it).
