The message was not 'this is possible with cmake' it was more that there 
is 1:1 the same utility (build a executable, call add_test), 
so there is no need for custom commands that generate the test 
results or something like that. So the quote '"make check" can be done' 
with a custom command in cmake', that sounds like there is no test util, 
is wrong.
