Here is a very first shot of ninja on Windows:

Sorry, it links against Qt, but the original code depends
on fork() and Qt was the fastest way to get ninja running
on Windows.

Maybe there are big show-stopper bugs, but
misc/long-slow-build.ninja runs nice in the debugger,
so it will not hard to fix other bugs.

I've tested it with mingw 4.4 and msvc10. I assume
MSVC 2008 will also work when tr1 is installed (hash_map).

Precompiled packages of Qt for mingw (SDK also incudes mingw)
and MSVC 2008 could be downloaded from:

   http://qt.nokia.com/downloads

Cheers,
Peter
