[ITK] How do I generate the ITKMorpholigical library?

[Matt McCormick]

Hi,

For the IDE project generators, we already add the header files to the
projects so they will show up in the IDE [1]. But, there is still
nothing to build for a header-only module and no .lib file will be
generated.

HTH,
Matt
