[Insight-developers] Module dependency graph

[Xiaoxiao Liu]

We actually produced some visualization of the module dependencies a while
back :
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Release_4/Modularization/Module_Dependency_Visualization
But the graph itself is rather complicated to be really useful for specific
module dependency investigation.

The ITKv4.0 doxygen now  provides module dependency info. For example:
http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/group__ITK-ImageFeature.html, at the bottom
of the page you will see the
dependency information of module ITK-ImageFeature.

You might already noticed that  ITK modular structure  handles the module
dependencies transitively. Namely, to be able to use a module ITK-Foo's
library, you do not need to
specify its depending modules. Simply use  ${ITK-Foo_LIBRAIRES}, since
ITK-Foo's depending  libraries are already included in ${ITK-Foo_LIBRAIRES}.
