AFAIK, there is no way to do this without patching CMake.

What we do instead is just create our own equivalent of the RUN_TESTS
target:

set (cmd ${CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND} -VV)
if (MSVC)
    set (cmd ${cmd} -C ${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR})
else ()
    set (cmd ${cmd} -C ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE})
endif ()
add_custom_target (my_run_tests
    COMMAND ${cmd}
)
