its actually for historical reasons. Initially, the structure was like
Foo/
include
Foo.h
gcc
Makefile
src
Foo.cpp
FooTest.cpp
vc70
Foo.vcproj
vc80
Foo.vcproj
So creation of a cmake folder for CMakeLists.txt might have resulted
from habit. However, since then, many new components have been created
and I would actually want to avoid to adapt the directory structure and
CMakeLists of all projects. So is it mandatory to put the CMakeLists.txt
in the project root directory or is it only considered "best practice".
Nevertheless, the question remains, why CTest accepts "Foo/" as source
directory but not its equivalent "Foo/cmake/..".
