This feels quite out of place IMO.
There are the high-level ctest_foo() commands, which care about creating the 
directories, doing cvs/svn update and so on, and in the middle of that I 
should write in a file which name I then have to hardcode and where I have to 
know the format of CMakeCache.txt, which is otherwise treated as internal 
implementation detail.
I'll send another patch in a few days.
