[Cdash] Test output size

[Tobias Kaupp]

Martin,

thanks for the hint. There is a second way of configuring the max output as 
described here: 
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Testing_With_CTest#Customizing_CTest

I committed my CTestCustom.cmake to the top level source directory and added 
the following to the top level CMakeLists.txt:

configure_file(CTestCustom.cmake ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/CTestCustom.cmake 
COPYONLY)

Maybe these instructions could be added to the Wiki?

Regards, Tobias
