[vtkusers] vtkDICOMImageReader - reading ONLY the DICOM files in one folder

[Mark Wyszomierski]

I think I ran into the same problem awhile back. I attached an error
listener to the DICOM reader, and it generates an error when a non-DICOM
file is encountered. When this happens, I would check the error and if it
was just a non-DICOM file I would continue processing. Not the best
solution, but it worked.

That was just for the demo projects I wrote, for actual image viewer stuff I
used boost or native win32 methods for recursively going through a folder
looking for only dcm files myself.
