Firstly, valgrind belongs in ctest, not cmake. Very easy to use there.

Secondly, in cmake 3 we try not to configure things using -D as we did
in cmake 2. Instead we make targets customised for that build
combination. The user then chooses to make or link to those targets if
they want those targets.

You can, and of course do, select a small subset of the available target
graphs as the default.
