This is an update of the port of TIFF library and tools 3.8.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  The file /lib/libtiff.la of the previous port included explicitly by the
  configuration proccess the c library in the dependency library command.
  This means that the libtiff.la dependency line looks like this:

dependency_libs=' /dev/env/DJDIR/lib/libjpeg.la -lz -lm -lc'

  Notice the last `-lcī entry in the line.
  When libtool uses this file to link the tiff library to another application,
  gpp links two times against the c library makeing the link stage fail.
  I have also fixed a bug in the library source code an update is higly
  recommended for everyone that seriously uses this library.  As usual all
  changes are documentetd in /djgpp/diffs.

  To configure and compile the package and later to use it, you will have
  to install the zlib, the png and the lossless jpeg port,  all available
  at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlib123b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/png1215b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/ljpeg6b.zip
  or:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib123b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/png1215b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/ljpeg6b.zip
  Of course, you can download a newer version of zlib, png and ljpeg if
  available.  The zlib, png and ljpeg stored in /current have been compiled
  with djdev203 and are intented for use with Win98SE. Those ones from /beta
  are compiled with djdeb204 beta for the use with WinXP-SP2.


  Please **read** the docs.  There are no info formated docs.
  All the extensive documentation is html formated and placed in 
  /share/doc/tiff-3.8-2/html.



  The port consists of two packages that have been compiled using djdev203 and
  that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-02-20):

    LibTIFF 3.8.2 binaries, headers, libs and man/html formated documentation:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff382b.zip

    LibTIFF 3.8.2 source:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff382s.zip


  For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries has been produced
  a second time using the djdev204 beta library. This package is available
  at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-02-20):
