[CMake] Nightly only tests

[Daniel Blezek]

Alex,

  Sure, that will do the trick, but that requires developers to remember the
-E. ;->

I suppose an example would help...

add_test ( ForNightly BUILDTYPES "Nightly"
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin/LongRunning --iterations 10000000 )

add_test ( ForExperimental BUILDTYPES "Experimental Continuous"
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin/ShortRunning --iterations 10 )

add_test ( ForContinuous BUILDTYPES "Continuous"
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin/MediumRunning --iterations 1000 )

A naked "ctest" would run only Experimental tests.  This could potentially
be made more flexible by adding "tags" to tests.

"ctest -tag Continuous" would run any tests with a "Continuous" tag.

Something like this would also be helpful for ITK, as it has 1200 tests and
takes several minutes to run.

Cheers,
-dan
