Timeout larger than 10 seconds

Hey Marc,

   Hmmm, that's interesting...  I've always had problems with the
"Socket timeout after 10 seconds" if I _haven't_ modified common.h,
regardless of the values I've provided to the plugins individually.

   Specifically, I've had problems with check_smtp - no matter what
I give the plugin, it adhered to the 10 second rule.  I changed the
default in common.h, rebuilt the plugin, and voila!  It worked.

   I don't _think_ I'm doing anything odd...  ;)

Benny
