Does anyone know what changes are required to make the Ninja generator
work on Windows? I know nothing about the CMake C++ base nor I see
anything obvious on the source code of the Ninja generator but, maybe,
with a starting point, something could be done with some hours I can
devote to that task. I mailed Peter Collingbourne some weeks ago but
received no response.
