[CMake] Adding compile and build type tests to CMake/CTest

[Edward Diener]

Boost Build has tests for running an application successfully or not, 
for compiling one or more source files successfully or not, and for 
building one or more source files into an exe or not. These tests in 
Boost Build are the run/run-fail, compile/compile-fail, and 
link/link-fail rules.

CMake/CTest has the exact equivalent to the run/run-fail rule in its 
add_test framework, but there is not add_test equivalent to the other 
two sets of rules. It sure would be nice, when Boost transitions to 
using CMake/CTest instead of Boost Build, if CMake/CTest had the 
equivalent of the other two sets of types of test in its add_test 
framework.

Is there any consensus that these other two types of tests might be 
valuable for CMake/CTest, or any way to make this happen ?
