It does. Premake has experimental ninja support. The main author uses
ninja, and he has a ninja module for premake.
Lots of the premake extensions need to be made more visible, but
extensions are a fairly new concept in premake.

Yeah, Lua is a really good language for this sort of description.
I like how premake feels. I find the files much more brief, and more
readable than cmake.
