[Cdash] KWStyle checking + CDash submission

[Julien Jomier]

Hi Olivier,

The current implementation of KWStyle is not supported very well in 
CDash (it was implement for Dart a long time ago). Therefore the HTML 
generation is not working and you won't be able to see the annotated 
code in CDash (like coverage for instance), but you will get style 
errors as build errors. (The way it used to work is that KWStyle will 
send links to web pages for Dart to display them).

That being said, we are working on implementing full support for KWStyle 
in CDash and have KWStyle generate XML files that will be parsed and 
displayed correctly by CDash. I would expect this to happen in the near 
future.

Regarding the group, we usually create a "Style" group to make it more 
clear on the dashboard but it's really up to you.
