From: David Bremner <brem...@unb.ca>

Initially this file provides one main function
notmuch-query-get-threads, which takes a set of search terms, and
returns a parsed set of matching threads as a lisp data structure.

A set of notmuch-query-map-* functions are provided to help map
functions over the data structure.

The function notmuch-query-get-message-ids uses this machinery to get
the set of message-ids matching a query.

This patch relies on the emacs directory  patch of
<1265773528-30794-1-git-send-email-david at tethera.net>
---

 This version is rebased against the json patches that eventually made
 it into master. Oddly, no actual changes were required based on
 Carl's change of "id" to "thread".   Some trailing whitespace was
 also removed.
