Summary:                    Ninja file generated by CMake is invalid
Description: 
When generating a Ninja build system for Scribus, the resulting build.ninja is
invalid. The following error is printed when running Ninja:

ninja: error: build.ninja:6397: bad $-escape (literal $ must be written as $$)
  FLAGS = $(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS) -fPIC -O2 -Wall -fPIC -Iscribus/third_party...
          ^ near here



Steps to Reproduce: 
Check out Scribus from git:

git clone git://git.scribus.net/scribus.git

Run CMake with the ninja backend. Run Ninja.


Additional Information: 
The error is caused by the parentheses surrounding the word CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.
Manually editing the Ninja file and removing the parentheses in all locations
they appear fixes the issue and running Ninja will work correctly.
