The Dockerfile for the image running dogfish is at [1]. I'm installing
the package "ninja" there, which... doesn't even exist upstream [2].
Odd. There is ninja-build, though, which is at 1.12.1. [3]

Turns out that the "ninja" I am installing is provided by samurai [4],
which seems to be a drop-in replacement [5] for ninja:

except for MSVC dependency handling (deps = msvc). It uses the same
format for .ninja_log and .ninja_deps as ninja, currently version 5 and
4 respectively.

I have not followed the remainder of the thread.. would you rather have
me try to switch to the real ninja, or should we keep samurai for some
variation in the buildfarm?

Best,
