Exactly.

And running some cmake code in the test phase is certainly possible, but not 
what I'm looking for. It would require the configure step of my project to 
pass, disable all targets, and enable a test that doesn't do anything useful 
anymore, because the test already happened at configure time. So I could also 
simply skip that and just let configure pass + disable all targets.
