Can we use Posix paths in the windows ninja generator instead of windows
paths?   I am guessing ninja would be happier with them.  So, c:/, as
for the :, there should be a way to escape that depends on the
generator.  I know the makefile ones have a place.


We can't use Posix paths. Ninja assumes ready-to-use command lines,
on Windows this means backslashes in the generated ninja file.
'\' is not special character, only '$' is used for escaping.

Therefore the question, if there is a single place where
all the slashes could be replaced by backslashes before we write
them down to the ninja file.

- Backslashes: could they also be replaced at a single place?

Would you not need to do that if you did / instead of \.
- Finding the msvc compiler fails because TARGET_IMPLIB is empty
and to the linker /implib: is passed without an argument.
Why is TARGET_IMPLIB empty?

Sounds like it is missing from the platform file, or the right platform
file is not getting loaded.

- Some targets have the .exe extension, but the rule misses the .exe.

Sounds like a bug in the ninja generator.

- When&&  is used for calling multiple command a 'cmd.exe /c' call is
necessary.

- How it is possible to choose a compiler (msvc, mingw)?

I think it would work like the make generators.  You set CC and CXX
before running CMake, or specify them in cmake-gui.

Glad you are working on this.

Thanks!
