Probably. But I don't think it's worth worrying about: building against
external libgeotiff should be done anyway, the one in GDAL bitrots, and
I'd rather have libproj support in GDAL.

For that matter, I always build the incode epsg version of libgeotiff to
avoid the need to drag lots of files around with me, and you can't do that
with GDAL directly.
