The Ninja generator is definitely the most well-behaved CMake generator
for efficient builds. It uses `-MD` and `/showIncludes`, so its C++
dependency list computation is "exact" in that sense. The Makefiles
generator has an over-building tendency, but that's due to the command
line tracking making per-source flags cause rebuilds of all objects in
the library or executable (the "lots of tiny files" problem I mentioned
before).
