include_external_msproject does not work correctly with Ninja generator
When I use the Ninja generator and include_external_msproject, no rules are generated anywhere in the Ninja file to build the msproject. You can see this with a simple example which uses include_external_msproject(foo path/to/foo.vcxproj)
and then generating with Ninja and typing ninja -v foo
. The output is simply: ninja: no work to do.
According to the documentation here, it only mentions that this function does nothing on UNIX platforms, which would suggest that Ninja on Windows should be supported.
