 I'm quite happy to see samurai become an alternative for ninja for pkgsrc.
 
 I've been using the following patch to make the ninja command
 selectable via TOOLS_PLATFORM.ninja, so I can use my system version of
 samu:
 https://github.com/oasislinux/pkgsrc/commit/7627f6ef0760d04efde48930981f67c86caba1f2.patch
 
 Is it possible to integrate your patch with the TOOLS framework
 somehow, so that it can use the system version of ninja or samurai (if
 they are available)?
