It is totally automated.  You can run devenv /build on the command line 
or use msbuild, they do not pop up a gui. ctest uses devenv /build.  All 
of this is already automated by ctest.   The question is about log 
scrapping, which needs to be done.  However, vs does create html logs 
during the build, and you should be able to use them with not too much 
effort.
