I guess the data structure conversion will be much more comprehensive
than the discussed prototype sample for real world applications.
Having the itk-dolfin interface as a wrapitk module, and encapsulating
the itk dependencies as much as possible, would make life easier.
Don't forget that itk, and the family, are cmake-based, hopefully that
wouldn't be a problem for scons-oriented dolfin?
