If you don't work on the Chromium port, feel free to ignore.

If you work on the Chromium port of WebKit and do not use Ninja as you
build system (GYP_GENERATORS='ninja' or update-webkit --chromium
--ninja) I want to hear from you!

As far as I can tell, the vast majority of Chromium contributors use
Ninja as their build system of choice.  Particularly for
Chromium-Android contributors this seems to be true.

With that knowledge, I have posted a patch to make update-webkit
---chromium/--chromium-android generate Ninja build files instead of
platform-native build files (XCode, Visual Studio, Make, etc.) by
default.  This of course only affects the chromium port.

Thanks!


p.s. If you don't already know:
update-webkit --chromium --ninja
build-webkit --chromium
is all you need to use Ninja today.  You don't even need to have
installed/built your own copy of ninja (Chromium has done that for
you).

p.p.s. Ninja is awesome. Awesomely quiet. Awesomely fast.
