[Insight-developers] Module dependency graph

[Xiaoxiao Liu]

Right, the dependably graph in the wiki (
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Release_4/Modularization/Module_Dependency_Visualization
) was based on the headers.

The itk-module.cmake is also self documented about the module dependency.
The module dependency info in the doxygen is pretty useful and  clear too.

It is probably a good idea to put some visuals into the doxygen later.
