Does the following work?

  add_test(NAME zurg COMMAND zurg)

Obviously not, see http://whathaveyoutried.com [^]

The following hack does solve the symptoms:

add_test(zurg zurg.exe)

I assume you haven't actually tried it then since it does seem to work for me.

The NAME/COMMAND signature allows executable target names and resolves them to the actual output file while the plain signature does not.

Using the NAME/COMMAND mode of add_test is the way to solve this. The plain signature just runs the command-line given with no transformation. The NAME/COMMAND signature recognizes target names in argv[0] and does the right thing.

I admit that I did not know that and i did not even tried even when suggested. appologies for that. However the documentation could be improved in particular this sentence:

[...]
 add_test(testname Exename arg1 arg2 ... )
   [...] Exename can be
       either an executable built by this project or an arbitrary executable
       on the system (like tclsh).
   [...]

thanks and sorry for the noise

Actually the documentation of add_test needed some cleanup anyway. Done:
