$ cvs annotate gdcmDicomDirSerie.cxx
...
1.42         (jpr      23-May-07): DicomDirPrivate *DicomDirSerie::NewPrivate()

Yeah I have to admit, I was too lazy to look into distutil to create a
nice install. Installation of python stuff is pretty bad, but not to
point figure at other people, cmake support for that is also pretty
bad...

Rings also a bell. I think Ken Martin yanked the old macros when using
CMake 2.4, to replace them with a warning or something like that. I
bet if you just replace the 2 with 3 you should be all set (I think
API is the same).

good luck !
