This doesn't appear to work here.  I ran CMake with the
CodeBlocks/Ninja generator over the CMake project, and received the
following error in CodeBlocks when I tried to build:

Using makefile: Makefile
make: Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'.  Stop.
Process terminated with status 2 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
  0 errors, 0 warnings

This is with CodeBlocks version 10.05.  The fix may be trivial,
but I don't know how easy it would be to teach CodeBlocks to use an
alternative build tool.

It isn't.  I ran CMake with the Eclipse/Ninja generator over the
CMake project, and I received a segmentation fault.  It seems
that the Eclipse generator assumes that the underlying generator
is the Unix Makefile generator (see the static_cast on line 1038 of
cmExtraEclipseCDT4Generator.cxx).  Someone with more familiarity with
the Eclipse generator would need to look at this.

Thanks,
