Thanks Even!

I can't comment on the point release RC directly, but...

I've been using libtiff from head (with my own bazel based build system +
my own mods to the generated headers) and have not heard any reports of
trouble across the huge number of targets that use it.

The only issue I ran into was with https://freeimage.sourceforge.io/. Here
is the patch I used.  I only have one version of libtiff, so I didn't have
to worry about making this an ifdef.

FreeImage_TagDataWidth(tag_type)) {

FreeImage_TagDataWidth(tag_type)) {

  continue;
  }

I've sent this to free image, so they can make a proper patch if they want:
