Have you built kdevplatform + kdevelop with ninja? What are the steps required 
to do so?

Generally, can you post some numbers on how much faster an incremental built 
and a clean built is compared to make?

And of course, this is awesome if not alone for the Windows people, where 
ninja is available but make is not.
