Oh, that's a good idea. They are GPL, I think, so the license doesn't allow me 
to incorporate it into our project directly. But maybe it will inspire me to 
cook up one of my own using its layout as guidance.

As with the existing plugins, I recommend that any time the dependent library 
is not found, that OIIO simply skips building support for that format, rather 
than being a fatal build break. These aren't common formats for OIIO's main 
user base, so I want it to be completely painless for them to build OIIO 
without these libraries being installed.

But I do think it's cool for OIIO's format support to extend to those used for 
medical imaging.

Just to fill the rest of us in, how are these three formats used? I mean, under 
what circumstances is one chosen over another, and/or why any of them over 
DICOM?

Do you think it would be helpful for us to also have direct support for DICOM 
images?
