#63274: notmuch: build conflict declared against itself, forcing users to
deactivate before updating

 When attempting to update this port today, it failed with the following:

 {{{
 --->  Configuring notmuch
 Error: notmuch cannot be built while another version of notmuch is active.
 Error: Please forcibly deactivate the existing copy of notmuch, e.g. by
 running:
 Error:
 Error:     sudo port -f deactivate notmuch
 Error:
 Error: Then try again.
 Error: Failed to configure notmuch: notmuch is active
 }}}

 Reviewing the portfile, the following is declared for `conflicts_build`:

 {{{
 conflicts_build ${name} xcbuild
 }}}

 Since this port declares a build conflict with itself, users have to
 deactivate it - forcibly, if a dependent like `astroid` is also installed
 - simply to update it.

 Is this intentional? If not, I'm happy to commit a quick fix.

 Also, does this port truly have a build conflict with `xcbuild`?
