Hi !
I just found in my mailbox, an old mail from Bill, and no response (as 
far I can say)
SerieHeader::AddFileName()  adds the file to the list only if it has the 
same Serie UID than the first file, found in the source Directory
 (single level exploration).
That's a bit hard, IMHO !

--> We could easyly, without breaking the API, allow a recursive 
exploration of the root Directory  (just add a bolean in the constructor).
--> Instead of dropping any file whose 'Serie Instance UID' does not 
match with the first file, we could return a std::map (key : 'Serie 
Instance UID', second : a std::list of gdcm::File *)
Every list should then be dealt with just as CoherentGdcmFileList was.

Would it help ?
