I'd keep it out of the dicom package as well. 

Note that there's a number of packages out there to read nifti files (which
is a superset of analyze75, see http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov/nifti-1/), not all
with very clear license though. One that seems ok is
http://www.nitrc.org/projects/cbinifti/, but I haven't used it (it might
rely on unix pipes) . Then there's http://niftilib.sourceforge.net/ which
also provides matlab support, but as it's the IO basis for SPM, and a lot of
SPM works on Octave, it might work.

Of course, there's still a place for analyze75info etc compatible functions.
I have no idea if that already exists somewhere else.
