[Feature request] notmuch support

[aivarsV]

Issue(sort of): Recently I moved from simple maildir email reading scheme to notmuch tag based virtual mailboxes in my mail user agent. I also like to see number of unread emails in conky output. Now, to keep things consistent I have something like this in conkyrc

${execi 20 "notmuch count tag:inbox and tag:unread"}

This works fine, but, man pages, related to exec, contains following warning:

       exec command
              Executes  a shell command and displays the output in conky.  Warning: this takes a
              lot more resources than other variables. I'd recommend coding wanted behaviour  in
              C/C++ and posting a patch.

It would be great to get another opinions about performance gains/losses between exec method and native variables. Notmuch has C/C++ bindings, as described in link below, so it should be straight forward to implement it.
