It's mainly used for testing, especially if you need to use static
libraries (where each test executable is kinda big).  I prototyped it
for PETSc a while back and will finish at some point.  (PETSc currently
needs to delete executables as it goes when running tests because the
sum of all test executables would blow quotas on many systems.  This
limits parallelism.  A single executable would rectify that.)

The feature (in a clumsy manual sense) has been in CMake/CTest for a
long time.
