The "filename" seems to be solely for informational purposes since 
there is no "open" provided by TIFFClientOpen.  The TIFF data needs to 
be implicitly already opened (passed in via the handle) or implicitly 
openable.  You should pass a "filename" which is most likely to result 
in warning or error messages which are most pleasing to you.
