What I would do is turn this into a test case that is part of a 
successful build.

add_test(FailConfig  ... run some cmake script that does the config that 
fails)
# use a regular expression to determine that the correct output shows 
up.  You can do an out of source build so that does not mess with the 
tree that works.
