Cool, I'll do my best to help you with this.
(but not before July).
About the dashboard:
at http://my.cdash.org/ I set up dashboards for kdesupport, kdelibs and 
kdepimlibs two or three weeks ago and try to build this regularly with cmake 
2.6.2, 2.6.4 and current HEAD.
It would be nice if you could contribute builds there.
You should create a login for you at my.cdash.org and subscribe to these 
dashboards.

Attached you can find the script which I use for the cmake 2.6.2 build, I hope 
this helps you to understand how everything works, I'll write full 
documentation later.
