[CMake] CTest Submission to CDash on MSVC

[Michael Jackson]

Thanks. I'll make those changes. I had switched to "NMake Makefiles"  
but I accidentally had "ADD_DEFINITIONS(-Wall)" in my CMakeLists.txt  
file and that simply overwhelmed the console. I think the compile  
output was like 25 MB in size. No sense in having that sent to CDash.  
It is building/testing again. Hopefully this run I can get a submission.
