[CMake] ctest & config type

[David Cole]

Unfortunately, you've stumbled across a hole in the implementation. It
should work the way you think it should work. :-)

It's related to this bug:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=2336

As noted in that bug report, you may be able to work around this by setting
the env var CMAKE_CONFIG_TYPE. It should be unnecessary, but might get you
working today before a real bug fix is made for that bug...

Something like:
set(ENV{CMAKE_CONFIG_TYPE} "${CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION}")

If that doesn't work, you may have to resort to calling ctest with -C AND
setting CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION for now.


HTH,
David
