You could try this:

set(CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION TRUE)

I think that will get rid of ZERO_CHECK, but I am not sure.  Again, this 
will potentially break your builds, and make them less reliable. 
ZERO_CHECK is used to make sure that the project files are up-to-date 
relative to the CMakeLists.txt files.  It is also used to check some 
depend information that VS does not do.

CTest is the built in regression testing system of CMake.  You can use 
it to create continuous testing integration for a project (see 
www.cdash.org).
