No, that is for telling the VS IDE which tool set to use.  It has no 
effect on the Ninja generator.  Like makefiles the ninja generator 
assumes it is running in an environment that is setup to run a compiler 
from the command line.  If there is more than one compiler it picks one. 
  If you have more than one compiler you can force it to pick one over 
the other with CC and CXX variables.   The IDE has its own environment 
for the compiler and some IDEs support more than one tool chain and the 
-T is how you tell it to use something other than its default.
