: libtiff.so is still currently a C++ library, but I've sent some patches
: to tech-pkg@ to create a separate libtiffcxx.so library for use by C++
: applications.  It's meant to be used directly in place of libtiff.so,
: i.e. instead of linking against -ltiff, you link against -ltiffcxx.
: It also leaves libtiff.so as a plain C-linkage library again.

  Yes, your proposed patches look fine.  Will you also be sending them
to the tiff maintainers?
