CTEST_EXTRA_UPDATES (that still seem to rely von CTEST_CVS_COMMAND, but
can be abused to work in that case)?

 Yep - apparently there is ;) I just found a way to do this in case
other people are interested: 

 CTEST_SVN_UPDATE_OPTIONS is interpreted in a way that one could put the
actual  full path in front of any arguments one might or might not
require. That way the  generated command line is as required and the
update works as intended. 

 Nevertheless - would using the update options parameter be the way to
do this or would rather the basic behaviour be changed in a future
version? 

 Cheers and best regards,
-.jan.-
