APPEND does not do what you think it should do. It sets a flag in the
generated xml file to tell CDash to append it to the existing results
when submitted. It does not append to an existing xml file.

Each call to ctest_configure generates a Configure.xml file, each
ctest_build a Build.xml file. You must call something like:

  ctest_submit(PARTS Configure Build)

before the endforeach so that ctest can submit the xml files it has
each time through the loop.
