Summary:                    CTest - Teach "-S" option to download script from
http or https location
Description: 
This could reveal particularly useful when starting a CDash client. Virtually no
script would need to be installed or copied on the workstation. CTest would try
to download it.

That way, doing something like this would just work:

ctest
-DCDASH_SITE_CONFIG_FILE:FILEPATH=CPython_karakoram_kitware_Ubuntu_10.04_64_gcc-4.4.3_CMake-2.8.10.2.cdash.xml
-S https://gist.github.com/jcfr/5360924/raw/cdash_smart_client_common.ctest -V
