[Dcmlib] GDCM usage

[Benoit Regrain]

Hi,

It seems you have got the version 0.4 of gdcm (compiled with VC6).
Since that, the gdcm API have really changed and some problems
have been solved. So, we recommand you to get the last release (1.0) by CVS
and use it.

To do it on Windows, you have the TortoiseCVS application 
(www.tortoisecvs.org).
But so many applications exist for CVS.

After gotten the good version of gdcm, you may use CMake (www.cmake.org)
to generate the project files for your compiler.

Cheers
