Title: Ninja

Implementation of issue #425
On non-Windows Ninja is used by default. On Windows it can be used with flag `--ninja`

I have successfully used it by default in npm and builded popular modules on Linux64, Linux32, Windows.
Ninja is setting up in `install` command. For Windows we download a prebuild binary, for others we build it from sources.
