Thanks for that idea which I have adopted (using
set(CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION "Release")).  It generates perfect
dashboards (see the Experimental raven result for today).

Should at least some of these considerations concerning CXXFLAGS and
CFLAGS (e.g., they normally should be unset to assure a standard build
configuration corresponding to CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION) be
documented in comments in cmake_common.cmake?
