But the current Ninja generator does not work. Any variables not set in Modules/CMakeCCompiler.cmake.in get no value. E.g. SET_MSVC_CXX_ARCHITECTURE_ID stays empty, because it's set it Modules/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake.in. Since the all other generators work it seams to my like a Ninja problem, where EnableLanguage() of the base class isn't called correctly.
