[CMake] Windows RC files with Ninja

[Miller, Frank]

I found a workaround. Turns out that the issue is caused when not enabling C language support in the project() command. i.e I was doing

    cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.0.0 )
    project( proj CXX)

Changing this to

    cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.0.0 )
    project( proj CXX)

fixes the issue.
