Hi, I was looking into this yesterday, and it seems non-trivial as far as code modifications go to make this happen.
But I wonder if this would even be the best way to go. Having multiple ninja files would mean (as far as I understand) duplicating lots of values in the sub ninja files. I think it would be easier to just add a new target for each folder added with 'EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL' that groups all the targets added within. Maybe even adding such a target for each 'project', which regroups all the targets of a project would make sense, as these are grouped as 'projects' in MSVC, whereas a folder added with 'EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL' is added as a 'solution'. This would make ninja easy to use in a fashion relatively similar to MSVC. To avoid name collisions these could be suffixed with something like '_dir', '_project' or such. Do you think this would be a good enough solution ?
