The version that is linked in the superbuild is already newer than 3,6.0
so we could of course update this to a newer snapshot. IIRC we just
agreed that it should be possible to build CTK using an official DCMTK
release, possibly with some missing functionality in that case.
However, there is currently no dartclient checking this configuration so
I'm not sure if it still works ...
Best,
Marco
