Presently, there is no easy "purely in CMake" way to send subproject
information to a CDash dashboard. You really do have to loop over all
the subprojects in your ctest script.

We've tossed around "automatic subproject organization" before, there
are a few different ways you could do a semi-automatic organization,
but nothing has come of it so far except for ideas for future work.

For now, follow the guide, and loop in a ctest -S script.


HTH,
