After updating to the latest binaries everything seems ok. Thanks!

On Linux, cmake+gmake is fast enough even for middle-sized projects like
LLVM+Clang, but on Windows with Visual Studio, the available options
such as msbuild, devenv, nmake and jom are annoyingly slow and
inefficient while ninja is extremely fast, so I'm very happy to see this
project maturing.

Thanks again.
