Summary:                    add_executable(test) & ENABLE_TESTING
Description: 
Reduced testcase:

$ cat test.c
int main() {}

$ cat CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)
project (foo C)
add_executable(test test.c)
ENABLE_TESTING ()

$ mkir build; cd build; cmake ..
[...]

$ make
[nothing happens]

Apparently the "test" target defined by ENABLE_TESTING nullifies any
user-defined test target. Inexperienced users that only want to quickly, you
know, test something, may end up hitting a wall with this ...

Maybe a developer warning on ENABLE_TESTING() that there already is a 'test'
target and that it will be disabled would be nice?
