Summary:                    ctest shouldn't report skipped tests as failed
Description: 
When CTest skips some tests, e.g. because their REQUIRED_FILES are missing, the
tests contribute to the pass/fail statistics and are reported as failing.

I would rather see output like:

50% tests passed, 2 tests failed out of 4 (17 tests were not run)

...and either only list tests that actually failed, or list skipped tests in a
separate section

This could be an option, if not suitable as default behavior (or maybe
controlled by a global property in the CTestTestfile.cmake).
