Great, thanks.  However, we really need to have the cmake_common.cmake
script used to drive it.  What I was asking in my previous response
was for you to get a normal nightly testing dashboard submission
configured and working independent of your changes.  For that
using the common script with ctest_update is okay.

Any tests depending on local system configuration need to have an
option to explicitly enable them on such systems.  See the existing
CMake_TEST_FindJsonCpp option for example.  Just put your new test(s)
inside a condition on a CMake_TEST_GreenHillsMULTI variable.  Then
add to your dashboard script::

 set(dashboard_cache "
 CMake_TEST_GreenHillsMULTI:BOOL=ON
 ")

before including cmake_common.cmake and the tests will be enabled
once they are in the repo.

Thanks,
