[Cdash] Attaching images to Test results

[David Cole]

Here's a failing VTK test from today's dashboard that is showing images.

http://www.cdash.org/CDash/testDetails.php?test=85717330&build=884368

I have not traced anything at all to see what's happening between client and
CDash on www.cdash.org/CDash, but just thought I would pass along an example
of images that are being (apparently) pushed through all the way to CDash
from a currently failing test...
