Marcel,

I think you can override this compiler flag with use of
CTestCustom.cmake or one of those override mechanisms.

Michael and everyone,

I think that use case is pretty narrow. If I know that B depends on A
and I see that A failed, I'm going to take a pretty suspicious view of
any build errors in B -- what if they were somehow caused by the failure
in A?

Besides, doesn't -k satisfy your use case while removing the confusing
and erroneous report of success caused by using -i?

Thanks,
