We're still getting everything working in modularized form.  Documentation
of how to add a module will be added later.

Is this going to be distributed in ITK proper in the future?

If it is a truly outside dependency that must be installed to be used then
just put find_package(OpenCV) right in the main CMakeLists.txt file of
your module to locate it on the system when it is needed.  I'd rather not
bring a fork of OpenCV in as a module.
