I wrote it and pretty much followed the same thing Manuel did in the 
Makefile generator.

The commit which actually adds the feature is trivial:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=db839bec7d076b54c5e9ad0d19386a26557a509e

Manuel mentioned before that he'd like to see ninja being able to generate a 
database without cmake too though:

As Chandler said, it's not in a release yet, but will be in the next release 
in a few weeks. Feel free to test the release candidate (I would appreciate 
if you did)
