OK. Hopefully we all realize that timeouts are an essential feature in 
the complete testing (in which I include building) process. After all 
we've had repeated instances of unbounded compiles. Which also reminds 
me... Does Ctest support the full set of tests we need? I.e. compile, 
link, run, compile-fail, link-fail, and run-fail? Does it support test 
chaining?
