TIFFGetVersion() returns a multiline string which pays homage to Sam
Leffler and SGI. The fact that libtiff has been under new maintenance
for a very long time should be reflected in the copyrights and the
license. Sam Leffler and SGI can not be held responsible for the
changes since libtiff left their hands.
It would be useful to have a way to obtain just the version string
("3.7.4").
