We should think if this should be something that is needed. Running some sort

detaching is not needed, It is usually sufficient to have one process running in
the background while the tests runs.
As I explained in a sibling response the KWSys Process library
has support for creating detached processes. It should only be
a matter of exposing that through execute_process command options.
Probably not a bad idea. Does KWSys get the resulting PID? If yes, it
might be good to have a way to pass that back into CMake in order to
also add a kill_process command at the same time in order to have a
general way to stop processes launched in the background. (And/or a
wait_process, etc.)
Something to keep in mind...
