Summary:                    Ninja Generator Fails to Produce Valid File When
Cross Compiling
Description: 
I am using the latest version of CMake (compiled from source) on windows.

When generating a ninja build configuration w/ cross-compiling using
https://raw.github.com/taka-no-me/android-cmake/master/android.toolchain.cmake
on andriod, paths with backslashes ('\') are produced instead of forward slashes
('/'). This leads to the android toolchain failing to link files.

I looked through the source and it looks like there is specific handling for
MinGW ninja makefiles on windows to account for backslashes.  Maybe a more
generalized approach would work to fix this for cross-compilation as well.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1) Generate a ninja build file using
https://raw.github.com/taka-no-me/android-cmake/master/android.toolchain.cmake
2) Run ninja
3) Explosions at link stage
