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?
I suppose you could, but it would not be backwards compatible. My
concern is all the projects that already exist that have code like this:
if(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Makefiles")
A google search of that string gives my 5600 hits...
Just trying to make as many projects work with ninja out of the box as
possible.
