Why not?   CMake does not handle && in custom commands either.  It is 
expected that custom commands are run one by one.  So, a CMake Ninja 
generator should be able to handle all cases, it might have to create 
some CMake scripts to do it, but I don't see why we would need anything 
more from Ninja than the ability to run a single command.
