ninja generator fails to parse v8 gyp files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Check out v8 (standalone, not from within chrome), edit build/gyp_v8 to not 
pass --generator-output to gyp, execute the script.

This is the output:

Updating projects from gyp files...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    rc = gyp.main(args)
  File "./build/gyp/pylib/gyp/__init__.py", line 480, in main

works for me on current v8 bleeding_edge:

hummer:bloody_v8 thakis$ mvim build/gyp_v8
hummer:bloody_v8 thakis$ build/gyp_v8  -f ninja
Updating projects from gyp files...

(works without editing gyp_v8 too, I think I made that work a while ago.)
