David,

Does the latest CMake 2.8.8 source tree have this fix?

http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2012-April/049772.html

Even if it's not the ideal fix, I just tested it and it does seem to
address one of the ninja clean target issues I was seeing.  Not really
a show-stopper (definitely not worth another RC, if that's what would
be involved) but would be a nice-to-have.

CY

P.S. - Is it expected that Ninja respect the
ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES property, or is there a separate property
for each generator?  If the latter, is there some "common" property
that can be used to have all generators' clean rules remove the files?
