[CMake] continuous builds and CTEST_ELAPSED_TIME

[Marco Craveiro]

hello cmakers,

i've been parsing some of the documentation/posts etc on continuous
builds. it seems a pretty common pattern for people to settle on a while
loop such as the one described in the official wiki
(http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Scripting_Of_CTest):

while (${CTEST_ELAPSED_TIME} LESS 36000) 
set (START_TIME ${CTEST_ELAPSED_TIME})
 ctest_start (Continuous)
 ....
 ctest_sleep( ${START_TIME} 300 ${CTEST_ELAPSED_TIME})
endwhile()

the bit i fail to understand is why is 36000 deemed as a good value
rather than ~86400? or is this because a lot of people have copied and
pasted from the wiki page? :-)

thanks for your time

marco
