Summary:                    CMake and Ninja - check for Fortran optionally
Description: 
Projects such as Eigen attempt to check for a working Fortran compiler, the act
of probing for a working Fortran compiler causes configure to fail. This
currently means that we are unable to use Ninja to build Eigen. I think the
Ninja generator should at least exit more gracefully so that C/C++ projects with
optional Fortran code are able to continue. This could be as simple as
CMakeTestFortranCompiler.cmake returning failure on any attempt to test Fortran
with the Ninja generator.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Get Eigen, attempt to build it, http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/ is the main site,
using the Ninja generator I get the following failed configure. 

Additional Information: 
$ ninja eigen
