If you're using bash: 'alias cmake="cmake -GNinja"' (for example)...

I'm not sure how folks would feel about having a different default built 
into the cmake binary itself (and anyway this could only help you if you 
build your own cmake), so probably it is going to be some environment 
thing anyway. In which case it is probably just as easy to use an alias, 
or write a wrapper script, or similar...
