I meant to reply to this part of the thread:
No problem for me with using ninja on cmake packages, but when I
last looked at doing that (ages ago) it was because the inkscape
devs were enthusing about it. And what I found was that on the
packages I tried it had no benefit for a clean build - at that time
the big benefits were for developers who changed something, did a
build, changed something else and then needed to rebuild.
As editors, we unfortunately need to measure clean builds.
Cmake was always poor at determining the dependencies which needed
to be rebuilt, and that was where ninja used to show the benefits.
