Those look great!

The one test failure on Windows may be because the total path length
gets too deep and exceeds some internal MS tool limits of 260 characters.
Please move the build to somewhere with a shorter path.  Usually I keep
mine under 55 characters or so to the top of the build tree.

In the two that use the "Unix Makefiles" generator you can also add

 set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS "-j4") # parallel build level

In all three dashboard scripts you could add:

 set(CTEST_TEST_ARGS PARALLEL_LEVEL 4)

to get tests to run in parallel.  Of course you can set the levels
based on the available hardware on each machine.

Yes.

The Debug you chose will be fine.

Nothing more for you.  Once these builds have shown up consistently
for a few days I'll move them to the Nightly Expected section.

Anyplace that FindMatlab should be covered.  I think the three
you've started look good.

Thanks,
