Summary: FAQ Entry "How do I use GDCM in my project" is misleading

Initial Comment:
The FAQ entry "Common questions - How do I use GDCM in my project ?" IMHO is misleading. The things I had to do for version 2.0.18 on Win32, static libraries, were:
- Apply the fix from bug 3380038 to get GDCM_LIBRARY_DIRS defined.
- find_package(GDCM)
- include(${GDCM_USE_FILE})
- Repeat until program links ok:
  - Build.
  - For the first undefined symbol the linker complains about: 
    - Identify the GDCM library it lives in.
    - Add this library to the target libraries.
    - If gdcmCommon was added:
      - Also add ws2_32 to the target libraries.

I'd be grateful if someone with write access could fix the FAQ. It took me the better half of a day to get this sorted out.
