I think you need to be more clear about what you mean to do. The DFL
approach reweights the data to obtain the counterfactual density. If
you are interested in an inequality measure for the reweighted
distribution, can't you just compute the measure using your new
weights, using e.g. a program by Stephen Jenkins et al. (findit
svygei, findit ineqdeco)?

Insitutions and the Distribution of Wages, 1973-1992: A Semiparametric
Approach," Econometrica, 64(5): 1001-1044.
