Yes. I think this should work exactly as you've written it. If it does not,
we should add a test to the CDash test suite and verify that errors and
warnings from the two build steps accumulate rather than wipe each other
out.

I would try using "APPEND" in the first ctest_build call, too, but I don't
think that should have an effect. It should work as is.

I'm assuming you're using up to date ctest... 2.8.2?
