[Dcmlib] Compilation of gdcmunder Windows and Linux

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Salut Vincent,

	We have nightly+continuous dashboard on a variety of machine. I solve 
*very* recently a nasty bug in gdcm (to work around the brain damaged 
VS6). So I believe you can only compile the very latest gdcm 1.2 or very 
latest gdcm CVS.

HTH

This should be fixed in current CVS. Sorry for troubles.

Just because I spent too much time on this issue, here is the detail.
This problem is a big phat 'feature' of the obsolete VS6 compiler. This
is reported among its other 'features':
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q243451/
-> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q240871/

A solution is described in detail at:
http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/Cpp/cpp_mfc/stl/article.php/c4079/
or
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2003-November/006150.html

Basically I had to create a functor around the function:
http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Utilities/gdcm/src/gdcmSerieHelper.cxx?root=Insight&sortby=date&r2=1.21&r1=1.20

Hopefully ITK will soon stop supporting VS6 :)

Ps: The worse part is that it does not shows up in GDCM own dashboard
for some bizarre reason...
