I have a working port of the libtiff library, version 3.8.2 and I'll
be looking to port 3.9.0beta as well as 4.0.0alpha in the next few
days.
I also have working tools,

but I don't know how to blend any of these with page(1), at the moment
the solution seems to be something like
tiff2ps xyz.tif | page
It would be preferable to let page do the deciding, but I'm not sure
how to approach this. Anybody who'd like to elighten me, please feel
free.
Mind you, I really believe page(1) needs some work, if only I could
figure out what are errors in it (partial black pages in TeX output,
for example) and what are misfeatures strictly from a personal point
of view.

PS: I still really need to concoct and document the approach I use
more or less automatically now to produce APE libraries and tools, but
of course this is not the fun part, so it gets somewhat neglected. It
is also the reason why there are now two ports of "libtiff". Binaries
are easy to supply, sources need a bit of work.
