Unlike the old monolithic toolkit layout the directory structure and grouping
is now independent of dependencies.  It doesn't matter where the FEM directory
sits.  It's itk-module.cmake file can still list the needed dependencies on
other modules which themselves are in arbitrary locations.  The top-level
CMakeLists.txt file computes the proper order in which to add_subdirectory
into each module based on the dependencies.

Great.  I just wanted to avoid surprises for you at the end ;)
