It would make a mess if you created a sub-dir per test.  There would be lots

of large numbers of dirs a performance concern?

I guess I have two concerns.

1. Windows is not good with lots of files/dirs (can be slow)

2. Naming and tracking these dirs maybe difficult giving the current api to try-compile/try-run.

If someone wants to try and implement this, it would most likely be a good thing if it can be done. It would require lots of testing with big existing cmake builds like KDE,ParaView, ITK.

That said given the current API, you could have a project that does this in the cmake language today. You just could not use some of the standard macros.
