[CMake] problem: No test configuration file found!

[m.hergarden]

I think you could put the enable_testing() and add_test() statements in 
a file called CMakeTests.txt in your subdirectory and include that in 
your toplevel cmakelists.txt. That works for me anyway. I'm not sure if 
this is the official way it is supposed to be done though.
