Dependency parsing is a bit hairy. It also breaks on '(', e.g. "Program Files(x86)".
Could you have a look at the .d files?
Best place to debug this is a printf here:
     https://github.com/syntheticpp/ninja/blob/master/src/graph.cc#L85


I also found that CMAKE_CL_SHOWINCLUDE_PREFIX is not set for different
CMakeLists.txt. I assume Windows-cl.cmake is the wrong place for it.

How can I make CMAKE_CL_SHOWINCLUDE_PREFIX as visible as CMAKE_C_COMPILER?
