Greg, Christophe,
No word back from you guys?
KDE SC 4.11 is open for new additions so now would be a good time to start
the process of moving ksmtp lib from playground.

I just now committed some Krazy fixes and some compile warning fixes.

There is more apidox that needs to be finished and the smtptest program hangs for me.
Other than these 2 things, I can't see a reason not to add the KSmtp library
into the kdepimlibs release for KDE SC 4.11.

Thoughts?
