  The runtest script first sets up a sandbox directory to run the test
in, by copying all files specified via file and file-del from the
source directory into a newly created directory.  This is necessary
because some test cases alter their input files, which would break
later test using the same file.

  You would need to translate that to cmake as well (also the result
comparison, which again uses files from the source directory).  Maybe
it would be easier to translate the runtest script to a batch file?

  See above, this is wrong.  You do *not* want to give the file in the
source directory as an argument.
