Should be pretty much the same as the other type of script but you call 
ctest_coverage().

Do you have a CTestConfig.cmake file in the top of your source tree?

testing where you can change how the initial Ctest input files are
provided? One idea would be to just use left-over Ctest input files from
the last successful configure that occurred in the past. How hard would
this be to implement?

I am not sure I follow you here?   I think a working script is what you 
want.  I think the scripting could use some better error messages when 
things are missing.   I have done some of that in CVS CMake, but more 
still needs to be done.  Also, some better docs would also help.
