[CMake] "Error in read script" when not calling CTEST_TEST in ctest script

[David Cole]

The return value of ctest after it runs a -S script indicates whether the
script as a whole succeeded or not. The only way it succeeds all the way and
returns 0 is if *all* of the steps invoked are error free.
The build errors mean that ctest's return value will be non-zero. (Same for
update, configure or test errors as well...)


HTH,
David
