[CMake] Ways of setting CTEST_BUILD_NAME

[David Cole]

cmake -DBUILDNAME=MyBuildName . && make && make test

test does not depend on all so that it can just run quickly... so you need
the middle make in the above command line if you actually want to build your
stuff first.

But why do you even need to set BUILDNAME for a "make test" -- it only
really applies when you're submitting a dashboard.

You would do something like:
cmake -DBUILDNAME=MyBuildName && ctest -D Experimental

...to run an experimental dashboard including configure, build and test
stages...

Does that make sense?


HTH,
David
