This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP
   over TLS) to the smtplib module:

   - A starttls() function
   - Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and

   - reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call
     of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.

problem.
