[CMake] All right all you CMake test writers....

[Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin]

Hi Kent,

Given the fact the parameter -R accepts a regular expression, you could use
the "^" and "$" associated with regular expression.

In your case, running:

    ctest -R ^Foo$

will only execute test matching "Foo" where as running

  ctest -R Foo

will execute tests having the string Foo within their names.
