Thanks Alastair,

I was able to install the ninja-build package on my ubuntu, and your 
test suite passes on my machine.

For some tests, the suite will check to see if a given package is 
installed, and if not skip the test.  This is handy for folks who'd like 
to run the tests, but don't want to install all the different random 
packages.   I think that might be wise to make ninja optional.  Printing 
out that you are skipping would be good too.

Of course, it would be nice if buildbot had the right items installed, 
or perhaps just installed on one of the platforms.  Perhaps David can 
help with that sometime.

Also, sorry about being slow to reply.  I've been really busy.

Eric
