Hylafax is still maintained.  Its maintainer (Lee Howard) was perhaps 
not aware at the time that removing the libtiff tools was being 
discussed (briefly) on the tiff mailing list.  Others did express some 
concern at the time due to their own usage.

Unfortunately, the libtiff tools which were removed (and which Hylafax 
uses) also use libtiff internals since they were expected to be built 
along with libtiff.

I can't attest to what distribution mainainers may do, but Hylafax is 
clearly broken if only provided with the libtiff 4.6.0 update.
