Well, I had a look last week, and it is actually not that easy: 

* The way the DICOM files are loaded is somewhat wired (first they are
scanned and then they are loaded in a background thread), and I'm not
sure how to map this to a dicomdir, and so far I never have used the
dicomdir capabilities in DCMTK. 

* Since I have none: Some DICOMDIR example would be helpful. 

* Is upstream actually dead (their web-page looks like it)? - because
it is Debian policy to avoid straying from upstream versions with
respect to functionality. 

Best, 
Gert
