[CMake] Accessing data

[Robert Dailey]

Hey Matthew.

I'm actually doing the latter. I setup my working directory in Visual
Studio project settings. I also setup add_test() to default to that
data directory when running them from ctest. Note that the tests also
need access to data, which is why they also have this logic.
