[PATCH] SMTP support for commit-email.pl

Since the machine hosting my subversion repository does not have sendmail 
installed, I had to change the commit-email.pl script that comes with 
subversion in order to use an external SMTP server for sending emails.

The changes to the script are really straightforward, as connecting to an SMTP 
server using Net::SMTP is IMVHO even easier than interfacing to it locally 
using the sendmail command.

In case you are interested, the patch is included in attachment and available 
at the URL:

Well, it took considerably longer than a few days (sorry!), but I've
filed this patch as issue #2383.  Thanks for the patch!

Would any developer be able to review this patch?  If not, I'll file a 
patch issue within a few days.
