[Cdash] Adding SMTP Mail Authentication

[Julien Jomier]

Stefan,

This is great. Could you put a feature request in the bug tracker and 
attach the patch to it? http://www.cdash.org/Bug so we keep track of 
what as changed between releases.

We might want to switch to phpMailer at some point. phpMailer provides a 
complete email mechanism.

Thanks again,
Julien
