That's pretty cool and very useful. Unfortunately there is nothing ready 
in gdcm for that. This should not take me (or other gdcm dev) too much 
time. What is your time frame ?

Another option is to use the Rewrite program in gdcm, and then run 
dicom2 on those gdcm preprocessed images. I suspect this would work 
since the output image of gdcm are simply uncompressed RGB.

HTH,
Mathieu
