Summary0009727: add DOCUMENTATION or COMMENT test property
DescriptionHi,

it would be nice if I could set a DOCUMENTATION property (or somehing similar) for a test in my CMakeLists.txt. This documentation could then be also submitted to cdash, and when I go to the overview page for a specific test, it could display that documentation.

I attached a patch for ctest which implements a "COMMENT" property for tests and puts it in the generated xml file, which then looks like this:

   <Test Status="passed">
      <Name>Example</Name>
      <Comment>Hello world</Comment>
      <Path>./Tests</Path>

This alone in ctest doesn't help much.
It would be nice if cdash would then use this tag and display the comment e.g. on the per-test page (e.g. http://www.cdash.org/CDash/testSummary.php?project=1&name=Example&date=2010-02-27 [^]) and also in some way on the list-of-tests page (e.g. http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewTest.php?onlypassed&buildid=550013 [^]).
Maybe it could add a small icon behind the name of the test, as is done e.g. in the "build name" column with the "info" icon, which displays additional information when clicked.

I attached an updated patch test-comment-2.patch.
The comment is now reported as NamedMeasurement and this way it already shows up on the dashboard.
Now it would be nice if cdash could be configured to show some "NamedMeasurements" in the overview pages.
