This patch makes it only an error when Ninja detects a Fortran compiler
rule being written (which is where the actual incompatibility lies).
Other languages error out because CMake doesn't have *any* knowledge of
how to build them. Java is kinda-sorta there IIRC. I haven't used it
much, but I don't remember it feeling first-class.

You might be interested in the first-class D support here where I've
been dabbling in some personal projects:

Other languages would need similar efforts to be fully supported. That
said, putting logic behind enable_language(OPTIONAL) would be nice.
