Summary:                    OBJECT_DIR is not expanded for Ninja generator
Description: 
Our compilation rule looks as follows:

<CMAKE_C_COMPILER> <DEFINES> <FLAGS> -fr=<OBJECT_DIR> <SOURCE>

Trying to use Ninja generator fails:

CMake Error at
/home/user/cmake-2.8.9-Linux-i386/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52
(MESSAGE):
  The C compiler "/path/to/cgtools/bin/cl6x" is not able
  to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

  >> Compilation failure

  ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.





  CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.


Steps to Reproduce: 
Use:

SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILE_OBJECT "<CMAKE_C_COMPILER> <DEFINES> <FLAGS>
-fr=<OBJECT_DIR> <SOURCE>")

Then run cmake -G Ninja .

Additional Information: 
It seems that cmNinjaTargetGenerator::WriteCompileRule
(Source/cmNinjaTargetGenerator.cxx:335) does not define ObjectDir in variables
as Unix Generator does.
