[CMake] CTest Submission to CDash on MSVC

[Clinton Stimpson]

You might need a 
SET(CTEST_PROJECT_NAME foo)
if you have a foo.sln file you want it to build.

For makefiles I set the project name to "all"

I think ctest -VV will show the command used to build the visual studio 
project.

And for the CMakeCache.txt, you should need to set the generator, or set 
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE for generators that support build configurations such as 
Visual Studio.
