[CMake] How to get Visual Studio to use more than a single core for compiling

[Gary Little]

Try ninja, which is available via macports. My primary project uses CMake to create 3 Windows build environments: nmake, VisualStudio, and ninja. In the VS environment I can use msbuild /m <project>.sln. The ninja environment is about the tastest build that I have available for Windows.
