This directory contains tests that run CMake to configure a project
but do not actually build anything.  To add a test:

1. Add a subdirectory named for the test, say ``<Test>/``.

2. In ``./CMakeLists.txt`` call ``add_RunCMake_test`` and pass the
   test directory name ``<Test>``.

3. Create script ``<Test>/RunCMakeTest.cmake`` in the directory containing::

    include(RunCMake)
    run_cmake(SubTest1)
    ...
    run_cmake(SubTestN)

   where ``SubTest1`` through ``SubTestN`` are sub-test names each
   corresponding to an independent CMake run and project configuration.

   One may also add calls of the form::

    run_cmake_command(SubTestI ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ...)

   to fully customize the test case command-line.

4. Create file ``<Test>/CMakeLists.txt`` in the directory containing::

    cmake_minimum_required(...)
    project(${RunCMake_TEST} NONE) # or languages needed
    include(${RunCMake_TEST}.cmake)

   where ``${RunCMake_TEST}`` is literal.  A value for ``RunCMake_TEST``
   will be passed to CMake by the ``run_cmake`` macro when running each
   sub-test.

5. Create a ``<Test>/<SubTest>.cmake`` file for each sub-test named
   above containing the actual test code.  Optionally create files
   containing expected test results:

   ``<SubTest>-result.txt``
    Process result expected if not "0"
   ``<SubTest>-stdout.txt``
    Regex matching expected stdout content
   ``<SubTest>-stderr.txt``
    Regex matching expected stderr content
   ``<SubTest>-check.cmake``
    Custom result check.

   Note that trailing newlines will be stripped from actual and expected
   test output before matching against the stdout and stderr expressions.
   The code in ``<SubTest>-check.cmake`` may use variables

   ``RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR``
    Top of test source tree
   ``RunCMake_TEST_BINARY_DIR``
    Top of test binary tree

   and an failure must store a message in ``RunCMake_TEST_FAILED``.
