I'm starting to get bots submitting spam through webforms. Adding a captcha would prevent this. There is actually a chance a site could have a denial of service attack through a webform.

Currently this module doen't have any kind of SPAM protection. This is making it unusable. Any kind of bot will be able to send spam using those forms.

I've commited a captcha component for the 4.7 and CVS releases. Due to the differences between the way the 4.7 and 4.6 modules work, I'm only making this change on the newer versions of webform (ie, not 4.6). If anyone wants to analyze the new code and backport a patch for 4.6, I'd be glad to commit it also.

Also, this component needs the Captcha module. If you want to use image captchas (which only seems natural), you'll also need the Textimage module.

Correct typo in the title. The Turing test is named after Alan Turing.
