Hi Kent,

>From Slicer perspective, independently of the method used to retrieve DCMTK
(git submodule or ExternalProject), if would be great if we could configure
ITKv4 passing our own version of DCMTK by specifying DCMTK_DIR.

Within CTK, since end of April, a more recent version of DCMTK is used
(Snapshot 2012-02-22). See [1] And looking at the associated DCMTK change
log, some CLang issues have been fixed. [2]

Thanks
Jc
