[Insight-developers] Request for new target: ITKHeaderTests

[Matthew McCormick (thewtex)]

Another option may be to keep the current behavior, but add a custom
target that is not added to ALL, so the header tests can be
regenerated and built on request.  I will work on a patch for this.

Thanks,
Matt
