[Cdash] User signup / email problem

[Julien Jomier]

Tobias,

I think I found the issue. I just put a fix in the current CDash trunk. 
When adding a user to a project CDash was setting the default email 
configuration to 'no email', I have changed it to 'send me an email when 
my checkins are breaking the dashboard'.

Thanks for the report!
Julien
