Summary:                    ninja generator fails to produce include statement
for rules
Description: 
I tried now cmake-3.0, 2.8.11 and 3.1 and all exhibit this issue: 

I have a very simple project (helloworld would suffice) and use the ninja
generator. The project fails to build with: 

ninja: error: build.ninja:20: unknown build rule 'CXX_COMPILER'

Upon inspection, I noted that on the top, older generators produced this line in
the ninja generator: 

#############################################
# Include rules file.

include rules.ninja

This is not present in the tested versions thus leading to the described bug. 

Steps to Reproduce: 
Create hello world project, produce ninja file and build. Should lead to: 

ninja: error: build.ninja:20: unknown build rule 'CXX_COMPILER'
