[CMake] General questions re. CTest

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Anton,

If you are using CTest, you can disable individual warnings or errors.
Please check:

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Testing_With_CTest#Customizing_CTest

In CTest 2.2 there is a way to negate the result of the test, but it
currently only works for return value. I guess we could add more
elaborate testing that would say for example it is ok to throw exception...

Please put a feature request to the cmake bug tracker.
