heudiconv "upgrades"

Yaroslav O. Halchenko & Matteo Visconti di Oleggio Castello

We've been recently working on heudiconv to adapt it for our needs at the Dartmouth Brain Imaging Center. Heudiconv converts DICOMs into NIFTIs using configurable heuristics, and we adopted it to automatically convert the DICOMs from our scanner into BIDS format, in order to facilitate the use of BIDS apps and later sharing of datasets both within and outside our department. The main goal of this project would be to exploit the presence of the main developers at the hackathon (Satra Ghosh, Michael Hanke, Yarik, et al.) to introduce clean changes to the master branch that can be used by other sites, for example the monitoring tool we created to automatically convert DICOMs, or the numerous customizations (...breaking the API...) we added (see https://github.com/dartmouth-pbs/heudiconv/tree/enh-dbic2)
