I can merge LZW code back to the main trunk, if nobody can't give a
reason not to do that. It is not an issue for me, because there are no
software patents in my country, but LZW code was separated to help users
to avoid problems in their countries, so if someone has opinions against
LZW, please, tell us.

All libtiff codecs and features are enabled by default, and LZW will do
after inclusion.
