Yeah, it seems that INSTALL claims “Notmuch will work best with Xapian
1.0.18 (or later) or Xapian 1.1.4 (or later)”, which doesn't seem to be
the case.

On top of that, configure does not seem to even check the version
number.

Is close() really required though?  The comment justifies it saying
that:

        Many Xapian objects hold references to the database, so merely
        deleting the database may not suffice to close it.  Thus, we
        explicitly close it here.

but wouldn't the database get closed when the last reference gets
deleted anyway?
