When encountering a ctest failure, we must run the test manually to see
what the LaTeX error. It would be nice to be able to see the LaTeX error
from the ctest logs. The following tickets are related:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9931
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9866

One possibility would be for the ctests to call LyX with 

  -dbg latex

which does indeed show the error.

I don't think this is a good idea though, because The LastTest.log file
already has 1653656 lines and is 110M. With this command, I think the
file will get much larger.

Is it possible to show the -dbg output only when there was an error? I
don't know if our ctest framework allows us to do that.
