[Insight-developers] PROPOSAL: Flattening headers directory structure at Install time

[Bill Lorensen]

My main concern is the installed base of customers. We can't afford to
break their applications when they upgrade to a new release.

Let's think hard about a way that will improve things for the future
but maintain backward compatibility. This organizational issue is not
the fault of the customers. If there is any pain, it is pain the
development team should bear.
