I agree with Bill here -- we cannot turn it on by default until it works
sufficiently for typical use cases.

For specialized use cases, if you know you want to turn it on, you can
easily re-build a CMake of your own that has it enabled. Simply turn on the
advanced cache option CMAKE_ENABLE_NINJA when configuring CMake.
