add_dependencies() for "build-in cmake targets"

This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.

Currently, add_dependencies can not be used to create a dependency if one of the specified targets is a cmake "build-in" target, like "test", "install" or "all".

I would like to be able to specify such dependencies.

Use-case currently at hand: We have a large test-suite for checking the installed software, and would thusly like to be able to write

ADD_DEPENDENCIES( TestAllPackagesWhenInstalled INSTALL )
