When building using ninja, the output is too verbose for some targets, where we previously had GEN foo now we have several lines of noise. 

Another problem is that when ninja is run by cmake, the smart terminal features don't work, so all the output is written using a new line and we loose the nice colors when using icecc, for example. This is because ninja doesn't write directly to the terminal, but to a cmake pipe (or whatever, I don't know), and isatty(1) returns false and ninja disables the smart terminal features. I wonder if we could run cmake first to generate the build.ninja file and then run ninja ourselves from build-webkit instead of using cmake. 

So, if we can use the default ninja output suing the smart terminal features, the verbose target wouldn't be a problem. I still think we should produce less verbose output for the bots, though.
