This is one case where it would be nice to keep it where it is. The
Core/ComputationalGeometry module should only depend on Core/Core
right now, but if we made this move then it would also depend on
Core/ExecutionModel. Filters/Sources would of course link to
Core/ExecutionModel, and to Core/ComputationalGeometry if necessary.

That said I have not gotten this far with the build system, but I
think it would be nice to keep the minimal dependency set for
ComputationalGeometry if this is feasible.
