[CMake] CDash using xml directly

[Tyler]

I recommend using CTest to drive the tests. You can write a CTest
script that (essentially) only does ctest_test() and ctest_submit().
Then you don't have to worry about tracking the CTest XML format.

If you don't want to do that, you'll need to simulate CTest's start
and test XML and upload it to the server. I'm sure there are a million
ways to do this with python, or you could use wget/curl.

However, I have found instructions online on how to generate the XML expected by CDash, and figured that I should be able to upload it directly to CDash. Can anyone give me a hint as to how I would go about doing this? Doing it directly from a python script would be best; doing it from the command line in *nix would be a good number two.
