I agree that is a concern for bigger projects like paraview with half-minute
"make all" latency (as recently demonstrated by Bill) so it appears our goal
should be to have a DEPENDS option for ADD_TEST to allow users to add
dependencies for specific targets/files.

I have put a note to that effect at
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=4615.

I hope this complication does not delay the implementation of a DEPENDS
option for ADD_TEST too much.
