CTestConfig.cmake is used by ctest *before* a configure run during a
dashboard execution. This would also work if the variables were set in the
driving dashboard script (using those new style, not-yet-documented,
CTEST_UPDATE() etc. commands) prior to the point where they are needed.

Why do I need two special files for ctest, CTestConfig.cmake and

They were introduced at different times for different reasons. CTestConfig
is used independent of a configure run of cmake... CTestCustom is read
during a cmake configure step...

HTH,
