-* The declarations commented out and starting with "TODO Swig" (try
- grep "TODO Swig" *.h) needed to be temporarily removed for swig to
- proceed correctly (in fact problems appears at loading of _gdcm.[so/dll]).
- So, simply uncomment the declaration once you provided the definition of
- the method...
-* As stated by the first lines of Test/ExceptionAndPython/README, it looks
- like we can move back to the exceptions and remove the errno stuff from
- src/gdcm* !
-* adapt python/gdcmPython/Makefile to automake/autoconf tools

+Use namespace gdcm:
+ Problem: using enum with name like 'Unknow' on .Net, or LP on cygwin
+ causes problems.
+ Question: when introducing the namespace, should we remove the gdcm
+ prefix from classes or keep it ?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Convert the C-like IO to C++ IO:
+ Goal: remove all the C-oriented IO references like FILE*, fread...
+ with the C++ fstream notation. Provide overload of operators
+ << and >> for any gdcm class using file IO.
+ Question: the underlying jpeg libraries (written in C) use the FILE*
+ notation. Is there a way to still use fstream in gdcm, and
+ build or pass the proper FILE* to jpeg libs ?

+* vtk/vtkGdcmHeader.cxx: if speed becomes a concern some changes can
+ be made at the cost of memory consumption (refer to header of
+ vtk/vtkGdcmHeader.cxx)
+* Add a GetVersion() global function.
+* gdcmElValSet::SetElValueLengthByNumber IMNSHO should be trashed.
+ It's only purpose is a onliner substitute to calling GetElValueByNumber
+ and then SetLength. This only obfuscates the caller code more than
+ clarifying it.
+ Besides the definition of gdcmElValSet::SetElValueLengthByNumber itself
+ it quite poor since it is a almost exact copy of
+ gdcmElValSet::GetElValueByNumber except for the returned code.
+ gdcmHeader::SetPubElValLengthByNumber (which is based on
+ gdcmElValSet::SetElValueLengthByNumber) is used nowhere...
