There are currently a couple python based tests that do this.
See line 238 in ParaView3/Applications/Client/CMakeLists.txt
The downside is the python script has the names of the plugins and loads them 
manually in the test.  That might be fine to test the ability to load them 
manually.

But in general, I think a better approach would be to make a test driver that 
set the PV_PLUGIN_PATH variable.  There might be a way to call ctest and have 
it do that for us.
