Hi Mathieu

Actually, I haven't got as far as trying the DICOM reader yet,
and in all likelihood would probably use my own Java DICOM
reader anyway, just because I am familiar with it, though I
will try your reader just to see how it goes.

However, despite being able to get the VTK to compile on
Panther with 1.4.2, I can't actually get the Java wrappers
to work this way, for example, getting:

[helgray:Tutorial/Step1/Java] dclunie% javac -classpath ../../../../bin/vtk.jar Cone.java
[helgray:Tutorial/Step1/Java] dclunie% java -classpath ../../../../bin/vtk.jar:. -Djava.library.path=../../../../bin Cone

Interestingly enough, if instead of the changes I suggested, I just
comment out the inclusion of vtkJavaAwt.h in vtkRenderWindowJava.cxx,
the regression tests work, if and only if I choose Carbon rather
than Cocoa, and I can compile and execute all of the tutorial exercises
up until Step 5, which just hangs forever.
