Brad, The main problem was in environment when build tool is running from inside of QNX SDK 'make' or 'sh' commands. Those tools completely screw up the environment simulating Unix, so Ninja cannot process generated *.ninja scripts normally anymore.
As soon as *.ninja scripts generated in the same way as on Unix (use sh.exe, forward slashes, proper escaping, etc) regular Windows Ninja executable runs normally under that QNX SDK shell. I did not try Cygwin CMake, but expect it might produce similar output. Maybe with exceptions to Windows drive letters. I predict that QNX SDK might conflict with Cygwin environment, but did not check that actually. I should also note that one of my goals was to keep using standard Windows shell for both generation and build stages. This allows to continue using native IDEs. For instance, when I work in QtCreator I simply override 'make' executable with 'ninja' and it keeps working normally.
