The ninja support is in the next branch right now.  Where is stands:

- Linux seems to be all done
- Windows is close, still a few failing tests, and needs to use a 
special ninja:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmakescript/files/ninja.exe/download
- The Mac needs the most work, as Framework and App bundle creation is 
not yet implemented.

I am working on getting nightly dashboards for all three linux, windows 
and Mac going.  I am going to turn on the ninja build by default on 
linux, and have an advanced cache option that will default to off for 
windows and mac.   When the next version comes out it will be enabled on 
all platforms that are passing all the tests (currently only linux).

The topic where the work happens is on the stage, and is called 
stage/ninja-generator.
