If there was some way for CMake to utilize "solution folders" in
Visual Studio, we could easily organize unit tests into a hierarchy.
This way the solution explorer would not be cluttered and we'd still
be able to have 1 project per unit test.
Never heard of unit tests that fail to compile before as a condition
for success... I'm curious what kinds of things these could be used
for?
Is there support for grouping projects in folders in Visual Studio?
If not it could be added to VS. If it is supported in VS you could
send in a patch to make it work with CMake or at the very list
request a feature.
Regarding the compile time tests, you could keep them separate but
not enable them by default in your daily builds, just your nightly
regression tests.
You could also make them "zzz_test_foo" compile time tests so they
show up at the bottom of the list of projects where you'll never see
them. The PROJECT_LABEL target property should help with this.

Boost does that sort of thing, having a failed compile actually mean
the test _passes_. I believe boost has a python script that drives the
test. I think there was some traffic on the list last month about
something in CTest where you could do a "compile-and-test" test.
Hope that helps
