Another alternative is to use the forwarding headers work that I did
for Boost. It uses CMake to create forwarding headers, and could
create the flat layout that will be in the install tree in the build
directory. That way only one -I should be required for the ITK
headers, and it will be very similar to the installed header layout.

It would need some adaptation, but might be a viable solution in this case.
