I am wondering if we want to call the Ninja generator something like:
Ninja Makefiles... It is not totally accurate, but it avoids code like this:
IF(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Makefiles" OR CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Ninja")
Also, it is more likely to work with existing cmake build files. I had to do
the same thing with jom. Although with jom, it pretty much is a makefile.
Thoughts?
I think that would be confusing to users.
Could you define an internal variable (to identify those generators
that have Makefile-like characteristics) that could be tested instead
of CMAKE_GENERATOR?
