Summary: Improve mechanism allowing to pass command line
parameter to ctest script
Description:
When setting up dashboard it is sometimes useful to pass parameter to ctest
script.
A possible approach is to pass parameters doing the following:
ctest -S /path/to/script.cmake,OPTNAME1##OPTVALUE1^^OPTNAME2##OPTVALUE2
Then, the following code can be used in the called CTest script to "extract" the
associated value:
if(NOT CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG STREQUAL "")
string(REPLACE "^^" "\\;" CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG_AS_LIST "${CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG}")
set(CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG_AS_LIST ${CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG_AS_LIST})
foreach(argn_argv ${CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG_AS_LIST})
string(REPLACE "##" "\\;" argn_argv_list ${argn_argv})
set(argn_argv_list ${argn_argv_list})
list(GET argn_argv_list 0 argn)
list(GET argn_argv_list 1 argv)
set(${argn} ${argv})
endforeach()
endif()
When more complex value, like URL are passed as parameter, special characters
like ":" need also to be "encoded". See issue

A mechanism similar to what's done with "cmake" executable could probably be
implemented. It means parameter could be passed using:
-DOPTNAME1:STRING=OPTVALUE1
