[Insight-developers] Module dependcies help

[Xiaoxiao Liu]

You probably want to identify those "other modules" and investigate whether
there are needs to pull some classes
out from the ITK-RegistrationRefactoring to cut the dependency loop.  Maybe
there is a need to create a new module, or move
some classes around.

The categorization of the classes in modular ITK is far from perfect,  maybe
you have exposed some of the problems.
