"But why did you pick these two and not others?"
I've read a comment in the FreeBSD bug/patch tracker where they judged
that these are the two fastest databases to be used for this job. Do we
need the original one we currently have? I don't know who uses neomutt
already, but I don't feel good with breaking peoples software. "Oops,
now your database is no longer built into our version of the
application" ... hm.

I think my choice to stick with the 3 DBs is right and it doesn't add
much. guix size:

* for neomutt as it is currently:
  store item                                                       total    self
/gnu/store/7zvsqc6pr6yalalwbsv88hzx2laxbkxn-neomutt-20170113       379.7     
4.9   1.3%
total: 379.7 MiB

store item                                                       total    self
/gnu/store/0f4qjgd4nr53r5xsg6di9nxprzg26kdd-neomutt-20170113       384.7     
4.9   1.3%
total: 384.7 MiB

I skipped the other store items, but the difference is minimal.
