That would be Peter Kummel's ninja. But what I would suggest we do, as I suggested before, is to use an internal variable to turn on the Ninja generator on Windows and Mac. This way, we can safely merge ninja-generator into master without confusing users on Windows or Mac by shipping a non-working Ninja generator in the next release, while keeping the ability to test (on the dashboard and otherwise). I have no idea what the timeframe for the Windows and Mac people is, but I really would like the Ninja generator to be available on non-Windows/Mac platforms in 2.8.8.
