Hi Angela,

	I have added an example on how to user dynamically loaded user defined 
DICOM dictionary:

$ cvs ci -m"ENH: Add example on how to use a user defined dict" 

/cvsroot/Insight/Insight/Examples/IO/DicomImageReadPrintTags.cxx,v  <-- 
  DicomImageReadPrintTags.cxx
new revision: 1.16; previous revision: 1.15
/cvsroot/Insight/Insight/Examples/IO/itk.dic,v  <--  itk.dic
initial revision: 1.1


	You should be able to now type in:

$ ./bin/DicomImageReadPrintTags /path/to/012345.002.050 
/path/to/Insight/Examples/IO/itk.dic

First argument is the DICOM file, second (optional) argument is a user 
defined dictionary which should look like:
