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

[winfried_mb2 at xmsnet.nl]

Thanks for the reply, it's clear now.

It's also a bit unfortunate though for some cases. The CTEST_TEST(...) call will always result in an exit code of 255 if no tests have been defined in the CMakeLists.txt. Since the script below is called from a build system it would be nice to be able to see if one or more tests failed, or if there were simply no tests defined for that software component (which is  not an error).
