Sorry to pop in at the end of this discussion. When I first implemented
the ctest stuff I wondered about doing away with the scripts and doing
all the work in ctest. 

Advantages:
Should be more platform independent.
You would be able to see at a glance precisely which tests failed rather
than just knowing one of the tests for a given language failed. 

Disadvantages:
More work for me in the first instance.
We want the scripts anyway for installing in the examples tree so users
can test the examples easily.

The scripts are not terribly sophisticated on the whole. The most
important requirement is just to set the right paths for libraries etc.
Perhaps a batch file will do. At least we know that will run on every
windows system then.
