Since add_test may takes **any** test driver as a command
you want I would personnally do something like

find_program(KRAZY_EXECUTABLE NAMES krazy2all)

set(KRAZY_PARTXXX_ARG ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src/krazyou)

add_test(NAME KrazyPartXXX
             COMMAND ${KRAZY_EXECUTABLE}  ${KRAZY_PARTXXX_ARG})

I think you get the idea, this along with some scripting you may have
as many "karzy" test as you want.

If you do not want all the krazy tests to run each time I bet some people
here will explain you better than I can how to filter out what you don't want
using ctest scripting.

For that one I don't know, I'll pass :-)
