 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_SUCCESS: No error occurred.
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_OUT_OF_MEMORY: Out of memory
 *
 * XXX: We don't really want to expose this lame XAPIAN_EXCEPTION

 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_READ_ONLY_DATABASE: An attempt was made to write to
 *	a database opened in read-only mode.
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_XAPIAN_EXCEPTION: A Xapian exception occurred
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_FILE_ERROR: An error occurred trying to read or

 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_FILE_NOT_EMAIL: A file was presented that doesn't
