Tell everyone about your releases! Send email notification after  
Capistrano deployments! Rule the world!

Drop your ActionMailer configuration information into your deploy.rb  
file, configure recipients for the deployment notifications, and setup  
the callback task.

Setup and configuration are done entirely inside your deploy.rb file  
to keep it super simple. Your emails are sent locally from the box  
performing the deployment, but CapGun queries the server to grab the  
necessary release info.

This even includes the Net::SMTP TLS hack inside as a vendored  
dependancy to allow super easy email sending without setting up an  
MTA.

This is the “Rock n Roll McDonalds” release - 0.0.1.
