Seldom maintained or broken is not the same as "not maintained any 
more". :-)

There is in fact some documentation.  See 
http://www.simplesystems.org/libtiff/build.html

Please feel free to submit a patch to the documentation with 
improvements you feel are needed.  Libtiff is developed by volunteers.

Rather than reduce the number of available build systems it may be 
that adding more might be valuable.  For example, support for Meson 
(see "https://mesonbuild.com/" or 
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meson_(software)") might be useful due 
to its features and its rapid increase in popularity.
