That page contains precompiled libtiff version. You don't need files
from the Gnuwin32 if you want to compile the library yurself.

Yes.

Yes. Size limit is 4GB.

Yes, of course.

You can ask at this list if tou will have the problems.
Build instructions are short:
1. Download and uncompress libtiff 3.7.0alpha.
2. Open file nmake.opt with any text aditor and ajust build parameters
   (or just skip this step).
3. Run the command

       nmake /f makefile.vc

That should do the trick. Any failure should be reported as a bug.
