[Insight-developers] SimpleITK - language specific test

[Daniel Blezek]

Hi Gaëtan,

  I wasn't aware of all the flexibility of itkTestDriver.  One reason we
like to define our tests within CXX code is that adding the test to ctest is
automatic, and we don't end up writing CMake code.  But it remains an
option.
