Summary:                    cmake_depends support for ninja
Description: 
It looks like the makefile/NMakefile/jom generators leverage cmake's build-in
command cmake_depends in order to generate header dependencies, but the new
ninja generator doesn't use this, and instead has specific support for VS. I
deal with a large cmake project at work which uses a compiler that is not based
in either gcc or comes from MS, and in order for header deps to work at all, we
depend on the jom generator's cmake_depends feature.

Is there any way to add a (global?) option for the ninja generator which uses
the cmDependsC/cmake_depends calls for implicit deps instead of requiring either
-MMD compiler support or cmcldeps?
