tiff will be withdrawing most of the command-line programs

[Greg Troxel <gdt%lexort.com@localhost>]

In tiff 4.6.0, date unknown, most command-line programs will be
withdrawn because there are security bug reports but nobody is willing
to deal with them.

It would be great if people familiar with cups and other printing
toolchains on NetBSD and/or pkgsrc could briefly think about whether
this will cause trouble.

Upstream NEWS:

  DEPRECATION WARNING for 4.6.0:

    This version will be the last one supporting most TIFF tools
    (except tiffinfo, tiffdump, tiffcp and tiffset), whose maintenance
    will be discontinued, due to the lack of contributors able to
    address reported security issues. Starting with libtiff v4.6.0,
    their source code, at this time ,will still be available in the
    source distribution, but they will no longer be built by default,
    and issues related to them will no longer be accepted in the
    libtiff bug tracker.
