[Building Sakai] Get multiple e-mails from LDAP

[Dan McCallum]

You'll need to extend SimpleLdapAttributeMapper to override 
mapLdapAttributeOntoUserData(LDAPAttribute, LdapUserData, String). 
Currently that method has no special handling for multi-valued 
attributes; it always grabs the first value. Check the Novell javadoc 
[1, 2] for getting at all values in an attribute.
