At some point I had the idea that we should get rid of the text output
format.  Looking at e.g. notmuch-show.c the stuff related to text output
is not as ad hoc as I remember, so maybe I should just give up on that
idea.

I now also pushed it to github.com/flub/notmuch in the now, it's in the
cffi branch and all code is in bindings/notmuch-cffi.  Not sure if this
helps with commenting, I can make a pull-request to somewhere if you
want - just let me know where.
