[Cheese] CaCl2-What's it for?

Why do many cheese recipes ask for Calcium Chloride to be added?  Does 
rennet require it?  Does dry milk powder have enough CaCl2 in it to 
avoid needing to add more?  My batches of milk seem to produce nice 
looking curd without adding extra calcium.  Will this ruin the cheese 1 
month later?
