[cmake-developers] Rename Ninja generator?

I am wondering if we want to call the Ninja generator something like:

Ninja Makefiles...  It is not totally accurate, but it avoids code like 
this:


IF(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Makefiles" OR CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Ninja")

Also, it is more likely to work with existing cmake build files.  I had 
to do the same thing with jom.  Although with jom, it pretty much is a 
makefile.


Thoughts?
