I've had a fair amount of difficulty getting ctest scripts to work.
The best I've been able to come up with is

1.  Configure a build space with cmake -DBUILD_REGRESSION_TESTS=ON
1a. Customize as necessary
2.  Run ctest -D Whatever

I've played with having cmake try to configure_file() a ctest script 
into the CMAKE_BINARY_DIR if BUILD_REGRESSION_TESTS is ON, but this has 
been problematic.   What is the recommended approach?
