My machine is out of commission at the moment, but I'll give it a try as
soon as I can.  It would be nice to have this fix in 2.8.8, but I notice
rc2 doesn't seem to have it?

I'll try to once my machine is back up... one other thing I notice with
ninja -t clean - it doesn't seem to be removing files added to the
ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES directory property.  Is this variable make
specific, and if so is there a generic variable I can use instead to tell
ALL build tools to clean the file(s) in question?

Thanks,
