As it says, there's at least one include file from libtiff that
doesn't normally get installed, but libgeotiff needs it in order to
know what the private tiffiop interface actually looks like so that
it can use it.

What I did was snag the sources for libtiff for roughly the version
that I had already installed via RPM.  Instead of
compiling/installing libtiff from scratch with the "install-private"
target, I just used the libtiff source tree to give libgeotiff the
additional information it needed to configure properly for my system.

Unfortunately libgeotiff depends on this private interface into the
libtiff functions.
