When CMake's ADD_TEST() is called to add the tests depending on server 
connections, it invokes the pvTestDriver, which in turn starts up the 
server(s), then starts up the client.  The client runs those xml files to 
make the connection to the server(s).  You may have seen pvTestDirver when 
you ran ctest with the -V option.
