FYI: Intentionally, Chameleon-00.NFSNet forces the building of CMake to allow,
and subsequently use, Ninja.
It does so by placing the following line in the configuration
set(dashboard_cache "CMAKE_ENABLE_NINJA:BOOL=TRUE")
As you can see from the recent dashboards, enabling this option does not
produce a version which fails when used with Unix Makefiles.
However, a recent change has broken its ability to configure to use Ninja as
the "make" executable (a week ago it was configuring OK).

The ...-Ninja- builds use the nightly version of CMake that was produced
minutes earlier.
It seems to me that we need to add some simple unit tests for each of the
generators.
There should be both a "configure" test and a simple "make" test.
It should be reasonable to run the former even if the latter cannot run because
resources are missing.
It is appropriate to have platform sensitive switches to to turn particular
generators OFF by default.
When they are forced ON, we could issue a warning, e.g. "The Ninja generator is
experimental on this platform"
