Be that as it may, many people still use it due to various
choices Microsoft made in subsequent releases (prices, packaging,
functionality).
Given that libtiff uses a lot less tricky C++ code than libraries
like wxWidgets or Qt, it's probably not unreasonable
that libtiff still compiles with it too.
