[CMake] Ctest executable dll/so search path

[Scott Aron Bloom]

The solution I came up with was the following..

    SET_TESTS_PROPERTIES( ${TEST_NAME} PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENT "PATH=${TCL_BINDIR};$ENV{PATH}" )

It worked like a charm.

A problem long-suffered on Windows and when lacking RPATH.  Have seen approaches where DLL dependencies are POST_BUILD customed-command-copied-if-different into the executable directory, or gymnastics with add_test WORKING_DIRECTORY, or setting a test's ENVIRONMENT property.
