Aha!  Thanks John.


There were a large set of differences in the build directory between
cmake with and without -GNinja.  But, the resulting dist file had only a
timestamp difference:

diff -r MSRC/gnucash-3.7/po/gnucash.pot NSRC/gnucash-3.7/po/gnucash.pot
12c12
< "POT-Creation-Date: 2019-11-15 09:59-0800\n"

Both my machine and I are slow enough we just can't get both
cmake/make|ninja sequences done in the same minute!
