Summary

0008277: Need better return values from ctest_*() (and documentation)

Description

The documentation for return values from the ctest_*() commands is lacking. I had to run the scripts, simulate situations to find out the return values.

The -1 for errors returned was not clear enough. It appears to me that it actually means the attempt to do the operation failed, not that the operation itself failed.

Also, I'd like to get
- an indication of build failures from ctest_build()
- an indication of update failures from ctest_update()
- an indication of how many tests failed from ctest_test()
- an indication of configure errors from ctest_configure()

For now, I have to take the approach of parsing the xml files myself.
With the new ctest scripting method, we're able to add all kinds of logic and do extra things outside of the normal update/configure/build/test/submit, but those extra things depend on what happens in that process.
